Given :
Sunflower produce approximately 50 seeds per flower.
If one ounce of sunflower seeds contain an average of 72 seeds.
To Find :
How many flowers are needed to produce 2 pounds of seeds.
Solution :
1 pound = 16 ounces .
So , 2 pound = 32 ounces .
Number of seeds in 2 pounds of seeds, n = 32×72 = 2304 .
Number of flowers are :
[tex]N=\dfrac{2304}{50}=46.08[/tex]
So , approximate number of flower required are 46.
Hence, this is the required solution.
