Question statement

The N:P:K content listed on fertiliser labels is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (in that order) for that particular fertiliser blend. For a given bag of fertiliser with an N:P:K ratio of:

$\var{part1}$ : $\var{part2}$ : $\var{part3}$

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

If the bag contains $\var{total}$ kg of this nutrient mix, how many kilograms of each nutrient is present? Express your answer to one decimal place.

N = Gap 0. kg

P = Gap 1. kg

K = Gap 2. kg

Advice

Part (a)

Divide the quantity {total}kg into parts according to the ratio

{part1} : {part2} : {part3}

Step 1: Find the sum of the parts:

{part1} + {part2} + {part3} = {part1+part2+part3}

Step 2: Divide the total quantity by the sum of the parts to find the value of one part.

$\frac{\var{total}}{\var{s_parts}}$ = {total/(part1+part2+part3)} kg

Step 3: Multiply the value of one part by the number of parts for each nutrient (N, P and K)

N: {total/(part1+part2+part3)} $\times$ {part1} = {N_ans_r} kg

P: {total/(part1+part2+part3)} $\times$ {part2} = {P_ans_r} kg

K: {total/(part1+part2+part3)} $\times$ {part3} = {K_ans_r} kg

Part (b)

Give the size of one part ({nitrogen} g of nitrogen), find the total mass of the nutrients in the fertiliser.

Step 1: Divide the mass of nitrogen by its number of parts to find the value of one part.

$\frac{\var{nitrogen}}{\var{part1}}$ = {unit_g} g

Step 2: Mutiply the value of one part by the sum of the parts to find the total mass of nutrients.

{unit_g} $\times$ {s_parts} = {total_g} g
