STEP 1

Assumptions1. Rita has8.64 pounds of seed. . It takes7. pounds of seed to plant one acre of grass.

STEP 2

We need to find out how many acres of grass can be planted with the available seed. We can do this by dividing the total amount of seed by the amount of seed required to plant one acre.
$Acres\, of\, grass = Total\, seed / Seed\, per\, acre$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total seed and seed per acre to calculate the acres of grass.
$Acres\, of\, grass =8.64\, pounds /7.2\, pounds\, per\, acre$

STEP 4
