One bag of fertilizer will cover 400 square feet. Find how many bags should be purchased to cover a garden that is 35 feet by 75 feet

Answer 1

The total area of the garden is 35 x 75, which is 2625 square feet. If one bag of fertilizer is required to cover 400 feet, then to find how many bags will cover 2625 sq feet, we must divide total area by 400:

2625/400 = 6.5625, which means that 6 bags will not be enough to cover the whole area, so the answer is 7 bags.
