Answer: She needs approximately 142.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given,

A pound of fertilizer covers 39 square feet of lawn.

If the lawn measures 5557.4 square feet, then

the number of pounds of fertilizer that she needs to buy = 5557.4/39 = 142.4975

Rounding to the nearest tenth,

She needs approximately 142.5 pounds
