Given :
Sunflower produce approximately 50 seeds per flower.
If one ounce of sunflower seeds contain an average of 72 seeds.
To Find :
How many flowers are needed to produce 2 pounds of seeds.
Solution :
1 pound = 16 ounces .
So , 2 pound = 32 ounces .
Number of seeds in 2 pounds of seeds, n = 32×72 = 2304 .
Number of flowers are :
So , approximate number of flower required are 46.
Hence, this is the required solution.
We have a square garden of 400 square foot.
The area of a square is:
where x: side length.
In this case:
The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the square. As they are all equal, we can write:
The fencing is priced at $1.50 per foot. If we add the 7% sales tax to this price we get:
The fencing will be installed in all the perimeter (80 ft).
We can calculate the total cost by multiplying the sales price ($1.605 per foot) and the perimeter (80 ft):
Answer: the fencing will cost a total of $128.40
