anonymous one year ago if 5 gallons of fertilizer are needed for each acre of land, find the number of acres that can be fertilized with 1370 gallons of fertilizer. I just need the equation

1. anonymous

5x1370

2. anonymous

is that fr it? cause now I feel stupid af

3. anonymous

lol nahh but all you have to do is see since 5 gllons cover 1 acre and you have 1370 acres then..

4. anonymous

$5\times13170$

5. anonymous

1370

6. Teddyiswatshecallsme

Does it specify what equation it needs to be in? Like function notation, slope intercept, etc etc.

7. anonymous

yea...?

8. anonymous

no it doesn't. it just asks "How many acres can be fertilized with 1370 gallons of fertilizer"

9. anonymous

wouldn't it be division?

10. anonymous

11. Teddyiswatshecallsme

Yeah. It would so that would be 1370/5 = 274

12. anonymous

because 5 gal=1 acre so it would be 1acre/5gal = x/1370 gal right? so it is 274

13. anonymous

or something like that

15. Teddyiswatshecallsme
