Question

a lawn company is creating a new lawn by putting down pallets of sod the crew can put down 1,200 square feet of sod in 20 minutes one pallet= 400 square feet of sod how many pallets of sod per hour can the crew put down

Answer 1

Every hour they can put down 9 pallets an hour

Answer 2

1200 \[1200\div400=3 \]
\[60\div20=3\]
3x3=9

Answer 3

Since 1200 sq ft can be done in 20 minutes, then in 60 minutes (1 hour) 3600 sq ft can be done. You can set up a proportion kto get the following answer:

1/400=x/3600
400x=3600
x=9 this is the answer

Answer 4
