Question

A bag of fertilizer covers 2000 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 110 feet by 140 feet

Answer 1

110 x 140 = 15,400

15,400 divided by 2,000 = 7.7

Since you cant have .7 of a bag, you need a whole one.

You would need 8 bags of fertilizer

Answer 2

Answer: 8 bags of fertilizer should be purchased.

Explanation:

110 * 140 = 15,400

15,400/2000 = 7.7

You'd need 8 bags to cover the whole lawn.
