Set up and solve a proportion for the following application problem. I1 6 pounds of grass seed cover 367 square feet, how many pounds are needed for 4037 square feet?
Let's call the number of pounds needed for 4037 square feet "x".
The proportion is: 6 pounds / 367 square feet = x pounds / 4037 square feet.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply.
(6 pounds) * (4037 square feet) = (367 square feet) * (x pounds)
24142 pounds = 367 * x
Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 367.
x = 24142 pounds / 367
x = 65.78 pounds (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, approximately 65.78 pounds of grass seed are needed for 4037 square feet.
