A farmer knows that a crop she is growing requires 24 kg of fertilizer throughout the season. She has a measuring flask which when filled twice makes 1 kg of fertilizer. At this rate, how many times does she need to fill the flask to make the required amount of fertilizer for the crop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

48 times

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we know that:

2 times = 1 kg of fertilizer

A crop requires 24 kg of fertilizer

Hence:

1 kg of fertilizer = 2 times

24 kg of fertilizer = x

Cross Multiply

x = 24 kg × 2 times/1 kg

x = 48 times

She need to fill the flask 48 times to make the required amount of fertilizer for the crop
