You are applying fertilizer to a football field. the field is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. you use 8 pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet. the fertilizer comes in 50-pound bags. how many bags of fertilizer will you need to complete the job?

9.21

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to calculate the area to fertlize, the formula to do so would be:

A=W*L

Which is the same as

A=360ft*160ft

This will be equal to

A=57,600

You then have to know hom much can you fertilize with a pound of fertilizer.

bags

If you clear this equation you´ll have:

This equals

x=125

So now we know that you can fertilize 125 squared feet with 1 pound of fertilizer.

Now you divide the total area between the 125 feet.

Amount of pounds need=

Amount of pounds needed:

Amount of pounds needed: 460.8

You know that every bag of fertilizer has 50 pounds so you dived the pounds you need by the number of pounds that the bag has.

Bags needed:

Bags needed: 9.216
