Answer:

629.85 square feet

Explanation:

So first, we need to figure out how many square feet .25 bags of soil will cover.

We can do this by multiplying the square feet by .25

148.2 Times .25 = 37.05

.25 bags of soil will cover 37 square feet.

Now, we find out how many square feet 4 bags of soil will cover. Again, we multiply

4 times 148.2 = 592.8

Now we add

592.8 + 37 = 629.85

So 4.25 bags of soil will cover 629.85 square feet.

Hope this helps! Have a great rest of your day! :)
