The Peterson's lawn is 5,500 square feet. The lawn has a total of 16,567,902 blades of grass. To the nearest whole number, what is the density, in blades per square foot, of grass on the Peterson's lawn?

A. 3,010

B. 3,011

C. 3,012

D. 3,013

The area density in this case is given by the following mathematical relationship:

D = (number of leaves) / (Area)

Substituting the values we have:

D = (16567902) / (5500)

D = 3012.345818

Nearest whole number:

D = 3012

Answer:

The density, in blades per square foot, of grass on the Peterson's lawn is:

C. 3.012
