A landscaper uses 78 pound of grass seed for each acre he seeds. He has 6 pounds of seed available? Determine how many whole acres can be planted with the available seed. Show your work.
Calculate how much grass seed (in pounds) remains. Describe how you arrived at your answer.

6 acres

6/7 lb left

Step-by-step explanation:

Each 7/8 of a lb is good for 1 acre.

He has 6 lb.

The first step is to see how many amounts of 7/8 lb are in 6 lb.

This is a division problem.

6 / (7/8) = 6/1 * 8/7 = 48/7 = 6 6/7

6 lb is 6 6/7 portions of 7/8 lb.

Since each 7/8 lb is good for 1 acre, he has enough for 6 6/7 acres.

He can plant 6 whole acres.

The remaining seed is 6/7 lb.
