Answer:

Hence for a patio with Dimension

Length=12.5 feet

Width=9.5 feet

2.4 bags of concrete mix is needed

Explanation:

The question is not complete, there is not attachment showing the dimension of the patio

Say the dimension of the patio is

Length=12.5 feet

Width=9.5 feet

Area= Length* Width

Area= 12.5*9.5

Area= 118.75 square feet

One bag of concrete mix will cover 50 square feet

Hence x bags will cover 118.75 square feet

cross multiply

50x= 118.75*1

x= 118.75/50

x= 2.4 bags
