Time spent while applying grass seed to 2/5 acre = 3/4 hour
Or, 3/4 hour is needed to apply grass seed to 2/5 acre.
What is a unitary method?
The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.
3/4 hour ≡ 2/5 acre
1-hour ≡ (2/5)/(3/4) acre
1-hour ≡ [tex]\frac{2}{5} *\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
1-hour ≡ [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex] acre
So, Derek can cover [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex] acre per hour.
Hence, the area that can be covered with grass seed by Derek is 8/15 acres.
