Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP THANK YOU

Assume that the area of the bean field is 440ft^2.
If Farmer Bob buys fertilizer for the bean field at $5.50 per bag and each bag covers 100 ft^2 then how many bags does he need? Then, how much money will Farmer Bob spend on fertilizer?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the area of the bean field is 440ft^2 and each bag of fertilizer covers 100 ft^2, then Farmer Bob will need:

440 ft^2 / 100 ft^2 per bag = 4.4 bags of fertilizer

Since Farmer Bob can't buy a fraction of a bag, he will need to round up to 5 bags of fertilizer.

The total cost of the fertilizer will be the number of bags multiplied by the cost per bag, which is $5.50. Therefore, the total cost of the fertilizer will be:

5 bags x $5.50 per bag = $27.50
