A gardener used 5 kilograms of fertilizer over the course of 6 weeks.How much fertilizer did he use each week

Question

The answer has to be a ratio and please hep meay

Answer 1

A ratio is on number over another number.

5 kg/6 wks = 0.83 kg/wk  which is read, "0.83 kg per week"

He got .83 because he pulled out the numbers, and solved 5/6... "5 divided by 6".

He just forgot to put the units back in as they were: kg/wk

Answer 2

They key word here is "over". 5kg/6weeks makes about .83 KG
