Equation Form:
w x 2 19
Divide both sides by 2:
w 9.5
So, w must be equal to or greater than 9.5 for this equation to work.
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:
3/900 = x/2100
In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.
The first step is to cross multiply like this:
3 * 2100 = 900 * x
Now you can simply the equation.
6300 = 900x
Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.
7 = x
So, your answer is 7 pounds.
