Answer: 7lb

Explanation:

The amount of gravel required cover each square feet of the garden obtained by dividing the total amount of gravel used and the total area of the garden is 7 lb

Total area of garden = 36 ft²

Total amount of gravel used = 252 lb

The amount of gravel used to cover each ft² of the garden can be calculated thus :

(Total amount of gravel used) ÷ (Total area of garden)

252 ÷ 36 = 7 lb

Therefore, the amount of gravel required to cover each square feet of the garden is 7 lb
