Warren measured a rectangular window to find out how much plastic he would need to cover it. the window measured 5 ft 6 inches by 2 ft 9 inches. about how many square inches of plastic does warren need to cover the window?

5 feet 6 inches is equal to ((5*12)+6) inches, which is equal to 66 inches since 5*12=60 and 60+6=66

2 feet 9 inches is equal to ((2*12)+9) inches, which is equal to 33 inches since 2*12=24 and 24+9=33

Since 66 and 33 are the length and width (there isn't any specific order as to which measurement is the length or width) and the question is asking for square inches,(which is the area) so what needs to be done next is 66*33, which equals 2178, the square inches of plastic needed is 2718 square inches.

I couldn't keep the answer in the format of _ft _in because they are asking for the area in inches, and I don't think it would be smart to convert inches to decimal values of feet for reasons I won't talk about.

So yeah, your answer is 2178 square inches of plastic.

60 trees

Explanation: 
Even if there are trees planted per acre, the decrease of yield of each tree is significant enough to make it less worthwhile to have more trees than less. 

In other words, when she plants 60 trees per acre, she gets 2700 bushels of fruit per acre, because 45 bushels per tree = 45 • 60 = 2700. If you plant another tree, you get the equation 41 • 61 = 2501 because there are 4 less bushels per tree. 2501 < 2700 so 60 per acre would maximize the harvest.
