Question

If you have to add 1 ton of limestone to one acre of land, how much limestone would I need to add to 1000 sq feet?

Answer 1

1 acre = 43560 ft²

 

1000 ft² * (1 acre /43560 ft²) * (1 ton of limestone/acre) ≈ 0.023 tons of limestone

                                                                                   ≈ 45.914 lb of limestone

Answer 2

One acre equals 43,560 ft².

One ton equals 2000 pounds.

 

2000 : 43560 :: x : 1000      proportion

43560x = 2000000              product means/extremes

x ≈ 45.91368228
