Answer:
20 pounds of grass seed is needed for one acre.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set up a proportion to solve:
[tex]\frac{2.5 pounds}{1/8 acre}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x pounds}{1 acre}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]x = 2.5
Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] or multiply both sides by 8.
x = 20
