Question

Christine is fertilizing her garden. the garden is in the shape of a rectangle. its length is 12 ft and it's width is 10 feet. suppose each bag of fertilizer covers 30 square feet. how many bags will she need to cover the garden?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

First we need to find the total area of the garden so we can see how many bags she will need. The area of a rectangle is its length multiplied by its width, so the area of her garden is 12 (the length) x 10 (the width). 12 x 10 = 120 square feet. If each bag covers 30 square feet, then she will need 120/30 = 4.

4 bags of fertilizer to cover the 120 square feet of the garden area.

Hope this helped!
