To proof

As given

Timothy is putting fertilizer on a field after planting some crops

The directions on the barrel state to use 0.75 quarts for each acre of land.

fertilizer will Timothy need for 22.5 acres = 22.5 × 0.75

                                                                     = 16.875 quarts

fertilizer will Timothy need for 38.25 acres = 38.25×0.75

                                                                       = 28.6875 quarts

total fetilizer Timothy need for two fields = 16.875 +  28.6875

                                                                   = 45.5625

                                                                   = 45.6 ( approx )quarts

Therefore the total  fertilizer will Timothy need for two fields be  45.6 ( approx )quarts .

Hence proved
