Question

Cindy owns a rectangular lot that is 18 yards long and 45 feet wide.

She is going to cover the lot with square pieces of sod. If the sod costs $12 per square yard, how much will Cindy pay to completely cover the lot with sod?

Answer 1

270$

Explanation:

Answer 2

$3240

Explanation:

First you need to find the area of that lot. Area of a rectangle = length x width. But you also have mixed units...yards and feet. Since the price of the sod is in square yards, we'll convert the 45 feet to yards. 3 feet = 1 yard, so divide 45 by 3, = 15 yards.

18 x 15 = 270 square yards

then you multiply that by the $12/square yard

270 x 12 = $3,240
