Answer 1

thank you i really needed help on that question! I thought that was the answer! Thanks again and good luck on your test! :)

Answer 2

The answer would be B. 9 bags.

you would have to convert feet to yards and inches to yards, then multiply the area times the layer. Then divide by 2 to get about 8.333, which is about 9 bags needed.
