[tex]x= \frac{4}{5}[/tex] pounds of seed does it take to cover 1 sq foot .
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have , A 12 pound bag of wildflower seeds cover 15 sq ft . We need to find how many pounds of seed does it take to cover 1 sq foot . Let's find out:
For 15 sq ft , a 12 pound bag is needed . So , for 1 sq ft , let x pound bag of wildflower seeds is needed i.e
⇒ [tex]\frac{15}{12} = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 12/15:
⇒ [tex]\frac{15(12)}{12(15)} = \frac{1(12)}{x(15)}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1= \frac{1(12)}{x(15)}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by x:
⇒ [tex]x= \frac{(x)(12)}{x(15)}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x= \frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Therefore , [tex]x= \frac{4}{5}[/tex] pounds of seed does it take to cover 1 sq foot .
