Answer: 40 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The dimension of farmers pasture is 1000 feet by 200 feet.
The area of pasture= [tex]1000\ feet\times200\ feet=200,000\ feet^2[/tex]
Since, area covered by 1 bag of fertilizer= 5000 square feet
Therefore, the amount of fertilizer required for 1 square feet of area= [tex]\frac{1}{5000}\ of\ bag[/tex]
The amount of fertilizer required for 5000 square feet of area= [tex]200,000\times\frac{1}{5000}[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of fertilizer required for 5000 square feet of area= 40 bags
