Answer:
10 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of field = 360 feet.
Width of field = 160 feet
Area of field = [tex]Length \times Width[/tex]
= [tex]360 \times 160[/tex]
= [tex]57600 feet^2[/tex]
Amount of Fertilizer used for 1000 sq.ft. = 8 pounds
Amount of Fertilizer used for 1 sq.ft. = [tex]\frac{8}{1000}[/tex]
Amount of Fertilizer used for 57600 sq.ft. = [tex]\frac{8}{1000} \times 57600[/tex]
= [tex]460.8 pounds[/tex]
50 pounds = 1 bag
So, 1 pound = [tex]\frac{1}{50}[/tex]
So, 460.8 pounds = [tex]\frac{1}{50} \times 460.8=9.216 [/tex]≈ 10
So, 10 bags will be required to complete the job.
