Answer:

3,000 square feet/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A lawn company can spread grass in \(2\frac{1}{2}\) hours = 7,500 sq.ft.

\(2\frac{1}{2}\) hours = 2.5 hours

To find the number of square feet of grass that can be spread per hour, we will divide 7,500 by 2.5.

In one hour they can spread grass seed = \(\frac{7500}{2.5}\)

                                                         = 3,000 square feet/hour

They can spread grass seed 3,000 square feet per hour.
