In order to solve this exercise, we can create a simple ratio based on the information we have. Lets call X the amount of acre that can be planted with 8.04lb of seed.
If 6.7lb of seed can plant 1 acre.
Then 8.04 can plant x acres.
Cross multiply in order to find out the amount we need, so 6.7 times x equal to 8.04.
6.7x=8.04
Divide both sides with 6.7.
6.7x/6.7 = 8.04/6.7
x=1.2
