Answer:
How many 50-lb bags of 26-5-10 will you need to fertilize a 30,000 sq ft lawn at 1.0 lb nitrogen per 1000 sq ft? If a 50-lb bag of 26-5-10 fertilizer covers 13,200 sq ft at 1.0 lb nitrogen per 1000 sq ft, determine how many times 13,200 goes into 30,000. 30,000 ÷ 13,200 = 2.3 bags of 26-5-10 will cover 30,000 sq ft.
Occasionally, fertilizer recommendations given as lb nitrogen per 1000 sq ft must be converted to lb fertilizer per acre.
