so a 1 and 1/2 bag will cover 375

1=2/2
1 and 1/2=2/2 and 1/2=3/2

so 3/2 pound covers 375
2/2 pounds covers x
3/2pound=375
multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraciton
3pound=750
divide both sides by 3
1pound=250 square feet so the answer is c. 250 square feet

Answer: b) 250 square feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Area covered by [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of wildflower seeds =375 square feet

First we convert [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] into improper fraction i.e. [tex]1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex], then multiply 375 with the reciprocal of [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

Now,  Area covered by 1 pounds of wildflower seeds [tex]=375\times\frac{2}{3}[/tex] square feet

Thus , Area covered by 1 pounds of wildflower seeds [tex]=250[/tex] square feet.
