Question

Joni has a circular garden with a diameter of 14 1/2 feet if she uses 2 teaspoons of fertilizer for every 25 square feet of garden, how much fertilizer will Joni need for her entire garden?

Answer 1

13.20 teaspoon of fertiliser needed for entire garden.

Explanation:

Diameter of the garden = 14.50 ft

Radius of the garden = 7.25 ft

Area

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]A=3.14 \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

Hence

[tex]A=165.046[/text]

Area is 165.046 Sq Ft

For 25 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 2 tea spoon

For 1 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2}{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2 \times 165.046 }{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 13.20 tea spoon
