Answer: There are 0.052 bags she will needed to use for each square yard.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bags of mulch to cover 12 yards of edible flower beds = 7.5

And, we need to calculate the number of bags she use for each square yard,


\text{ Number of bags for each square yard }\\\\=(7.5)/(12* 12)\\\\=0.052\text{ bags per square yard}

So, there are 0.052 bags she will needed to use for each square yard.
