You are provided with a compound fertilizer, 40-15-10.Calculate the quantity of fertilizer to add to a one hectare field supply (a) Nitrogen at 120kg/ha (b) Nitrogen at 90kg/ha (c) Phosphorus at a rate of 60kg/ha (d) Potassium at a rate of 60kg/ha

a. 300 kg of Fertilizer

b. 225 kg of fertilizer

c.400 Kg of fertilizer

d.600 Kg of fertilizer

Explanation:

The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.

The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:

For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4

For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15

For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1

To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.

Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;

a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer

b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer

c. Phosphorus at  60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer

d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.

hope it ,
