Question

Debra is fertilizing her garden. The garden is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 12 feet and its width is 10 feet. Suppose each bag of fertilizer covers 30 square feet. How many bags will she need to cover the garden?

Answer 1

She would need 40 bags.

First find the area of the rectangle by multiplying 10 and 12 ft together. You should get 120 sq ft. Then divide by the bags that cover 30 sq feet and you get 40. 40 bags are needed :)

Answer 2

If I'm correct the answer is 4

Explanation:

Not 100% sure if I'm correct but if Debra's garden is 12 feet in length and 10 feet in width then you would multiply 10 × 12 that would be 120. Then divide 120 to 30 and you get your answer, 4. ( not 100% sure )
