Let's solve each part of the question:

### (a) How many pounds of sugar did Kareem get per dollar?

Kareem bought 26 pounds of sugar for $11. To calculate how many pounds per dollar, we divide the total pounds by the total cost:

\[
\frac{26 \text{ pounds}}{11 \text{ dollars}} = 2.36 \text{ pounds per dollar} 
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Kareem got **2.36 pounds per dollar**.

### (b) How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?

It takes 51 pounds of seed to completely plant an 8-acre field. To find how many acres can be planted per pound, divide the total acres by the total pounds of seed:

\[
\frac{8 \text{ acres}}{51 \text{ pounds}} = 0.16 \text{ acres per pound}
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is **0.16 acres per pound**.

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:

1. How many dollars would Kareem spend if he wanted to buy 50 pounds of sugar at the same rate?
2. If the price of sugar increases by 10%, how many pounds per dollar would Kareem get?
3. If Kareem had $25, how many pounds of sugar could he buy at the current rate?
4. How many pounds of seed would be required to plant a 15-acre field at the same seed-to-acre ratio?
5. If the field size was increased to 20 acres, how many pounds of seed would be needed?

**Tip:** When comparing different rates, it's useful to break down the units involved (e.g., dollars per pound, acres per pound) to easily understand the relationship.

Kareem bought 26 pounds of sugar for $11. How many pounds of sugar did he get per dollar? It takes 51 pounds of seed to completely plant an 8-acre field. How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?
