it takes 70 oz of grass seed to seed 3500ft2.at this rate how much would be needed for 5000 ft2 of lawn?
Answer provided by our tutors
set up a proportion relating the number of ounces to the number of feet. let the unknown number of ounces be x.put the number of oz/number of feet = number of oz/number of feet as such:
70/3500 = x/5000 cross multiply to solve
70*5000 = 3500x
350000 = 3500x
100 = x
therefore, 100 oz of grass seed would be needed for 5000 ft2 of lawn
