Question

a vegetable garden and a surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 11 ft wide. The path is 2 feet wide. If one bag of gravel cover 9 square feet, how many bags are needed to cover the path?​

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 8 bags of gravel

Explanation:

Data

width = 11 ft

path = 2 ft

bag of gravel = 9 ft²

Area of a square garden with path= 11 x 11 = 121 ft²

Area of the square garden = 7 x 7 = 49 ft².

Area of the path = 121 - 49 = 72 ft²

# of bags = 72 / 9 = 8 bags
