To find how many acres can be planted per pound of seed, you can divide the total number of acres by the total pounds of seed used.
Given:
- Total acres = 8 acres
- Total pounds of seed = 70 pounds
Now, calculate the acres per pound of seed:
\[ \text{Acres per pound of seed} = \frac{\text{Total acres}}{\text{Total pounds of seed}} = \frac{8 \text{ acres}}{70 \text{ pounds}} = \frac{8}{70} \]
\[ \frac{8}{70} = \frac{4}{35} \text{ acres per pound} \]
So, approximately:
\[ \frac{4}{35} \approx 0.1143 \text{ acres per pound} \]
Thus, about 0.1143 acres can be planted per pound of seed.
