Question

Kevin wants to plant grass in his backyard. His backyard is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 28 feet and its width is 25 feet. Suppose each pack of seed

covers 14 square feet. How many packs of seed will he need to cover the backyard?

Answer 1

50 packs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 28 feet

Width = 25 feet

Pack of seeds = 14 ft²

Since Kevin's backyard is a rectangle, we would find its area.

Area of rectangle = length * width

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area of rectangle = 28 * 25

Area of rectangle = 700 ft²

Now to find the amount of pack of seeds required to cover the backyard.

Amount of pack of seeds = 700/14

Amount of pack of seeds = 50 packs.
