Hello!

Riley has 3and 1/4 bag of soil to put in her garden. Each bag of soil will cover 125.3 ft3 . How many cubic feet will Riley be able to cover if she uses all of these bags of soil.

3 1/4 = 3.25

125.3 x 3.25 = 407.225 ft.^3

Answer - 407.225 ft.^3

Answer 2

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that Riley has:

`3^{(1)/(4) }=3.25` bags of soil

2. Each bag of soil will covers 125.3 ft³. Therefore, if she uses all the bags she will be able to cover:

`(3.25)(125.3ft^(3))=407.22ft^(3)`

Therefore, the answer is: 407.22 ft³.
