1.1.3 The learners intend to pour organic compost over the strawberry plot. One bag of compost costing R60,50 can cover an area of \( 3,5 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \). Determine the total cost to buy the compost to cover the strawberry plot. 1.1.4 \( \begin{array}{l}\text { Potatoes are consumed by humans as biofuel, if } 50 \mathrm{~kg} \text { of potatoes are produced } \\ \text { every season and } 10 \mathrm{~kg} \text { can feed a family of } 10 \text { persons. } \\ \text { How many people/persons can be fed from the seasonal production? }\end{array} \) (3)

The Deep Dive
To cover the strawberry plot, first determine the total area that needs composting. If one bag covers \(3.5 \, \mathrm{m}^2\), divide the total area of the plot by that figure to find out how many bags are needed. Then, multiply the number of bags by R60.50 to find the total cost. For example, if the plot is \(21 \, \mathrm{m}^2\), it would take \(21 \div 3.5 = 6\) bags, resulting in R363.00 for composting. Regarding potato consumption, if 50 kg of potatoes can feed 10 persons per 10 kg, start by calculating how many 10 kg servings you have in 50 kg. You have \(50 \div 10 = 5\) servings. Since each serving can feed 10 people, you multiply \(5 \times 10 = 50\). Thus, 50 kg of potatoes can feed a total of 50 people! Yum, that’s a whole feast!
