Answer:

The answer to your question is 24 bags

Explanation:

Data

Side of the garden = 12 yd

1 bag of fertilizer = 6 yards

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the garden

Area of the garden = 12 x 12

Area of the garden = 144 yd²

2.- Divide the area by the yards cover by a bag

Number of bags = 144 / 6

Number of bags = 24
