Question

Pepper jackie has 7.5 bags of mulch to cover 12yrd^2 of edible flower beds. If she wants to distribute the mulch evenly over the beds, about how many bags will she need to use for each squad yard

Answer 1

0.625 bag / yd²

Explanation:

Given that:

Total bags of mulch = 7.5 bags

Area of edible flower bed = 12 yd²

To distribute mulch evenly over the area:

Area of edible flower bed / bag of mulch

7.5 bags ÷ 12 yards²

7.5 / 12

= 0.625 bag / yd²
