Answer:To completely fill in the basketball court, Glenwood High School will need 60 cubic yards of concrete.

Since one bag of concrete fills 0.5 cubic yards, we can calculate the number of bags needed by dividing the total cubic yards by the cubic yards per bag:

Number of bags = 60 cubic yards / 0.5 cubic yards per bag

Number of bags = 120 bags

Therefore, Glenwood High School needs to order at least 120 bags of concrete to completely fill in the basketball court. Since the school ordered more than enough concrete to completely fill in the court, they likely ordered more than 120 bags of concrete.
