Question

Set up and solve a proportion for the following application problem. if 5 pounds of grass seed cover 467 square feet, how many pounds are needed for 5604 square feet?

Answer 1

\(5604=4\cdot1401=4\cdot3\cdot467\)

Answer 2

so \(\dfrac5{467}=\dfrac{x}{5604}=\dfrac{x}{5\cdot12}\cdot\dfrac5{467}\)

Answer 3

so \(x=5\cdot12=60\)
