Question

1. a farmer knows that a crop she is growing requires 24 kg of fertilizer throughout the season. she has a measuring flask which when filled twice makes 1 kg of fertilizer. at this rate, how many times does she need to fill the flask to make the required amount of fertilizer for the crop? enter your answer in the box. times

Explanation:

Step1: Find the amount per flask fill

If filling the flask twice makes 1 kg, then one fill makes $\frac{1}{2}$ kg.

Step2: Calculate number of fills for 24 kg

Let \( n \) be the number of fills. We know that \( \frac{1}{2} \times n = 24 \). Solving for \( n \), we multiply both sides by 2: \( n = 24 \times 2 = 48 \).

Answer:

48
