ANSWER!!

18 bags!!

EXPLANATION!!

You need to find out how big the backyard is first by multiplying both lengths.

22•14=308

Knowing a bag covers 18m we need to divide.

308/18=17.1111

It asks for how many bags are needed, this is a real world situation so you need to round up to the nearest whole number so you would get 18!
