Tricia wants to create a path using pebbles. She has 8 bags of pebbles and each bag covers an area of about 6 square feet. If she wants to make the path 2 feet wide, about how long can she make the path?

2 * x = 8 * 6
(2ft * x-ft = the number of bags * the area the bags cover)

2x = 48

2x/2 = 48/2

x = 24 feet long
