Question

a school wants to replace their football field. How much turf do they need to order if the dimensions of the field are 150 yards by 75 yards?

Answer 1

This just looks like an area problem; assume that the area to be covered by turf is a rectangle. The formula for area of a rectangle is "length times width" = area.  So please multiply 150 by 75; the answer will be in yards squared.

 

Note: an American football field is 120 yards long, 55 yards wide; it will be just part of the turfed area.
