Answer:40 bushels of seed would be required to plant 30 acres of wheat.
Step-by-step explanation:
On the average, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are needed to plant 1 acre of wheat. Converting 1 1/3 bushels of seed to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 bushels of seed.
Let x represent the bushels of seed that would be required to plant 30 acres. Therefore
4/3 bushels of seed = 1 acre
x = 30 acres
Cross multiplying
x × 1 = 4/3 × 30
x = 40 bushels of seed
