Question 951769: If the ratio of weight to volume of wood is 2000 lbs to 40 ft^2, how many cubic feet would 2200 lbs occupy? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2000 is to 40 square feet as 2200 pounds is to x square feet.
formula will be:
2000 / 40 = 2200 / x
solve for x to get x = 40 * 2200 / 2000 = 44 square feet.
alternate method.
2000 pounds divided by 40 square feet = 50 pounds per square foot.
2200 pounds divided by 50 pounds per square foot equals 44 square feet.
