How do Agricultural workers use ratio and proportion?

Answer 1

Here are a couple of examples:

• When they need to determine how much pesticides to spray on their crops. Ratio: Pesticides to Crops
• When they need to determine how much seed to plant per acre. Ratio: Seed to Acres
• Farmers are very practical and generally paint and repair their own agriculture equipment. So another one is paint to area need to be painted. Ratio: Paint to Area
• Also think about crop rotation. For example to keep soil nitrogen enriched farmers in Illinois generally plant one year of corn (the more valuable one that takes away nitrogen) then one year of soybean (the less valuable that replenishes nitrogen). This is a simple ratio but will vary by area, plants used, weather, fertilizer, ect.
