Question

anonymous · Answer

i came up with two bags but it seemed to simple

anonymous · Answer

Six bags

anonymous · Answer

22*22=484 square meters
484/85= number of bags needed

anonymous · Answer

multiply the dimensions out (22 and 22)
then divide the result by the amount of coverage per bag (85)

anonymous · Answer

1 sq km needs 1/85th of a bag of seeds.
Therefore 22x22 needs 484/85 bags

anonymous · Answer

approx. 5.694 bags

anonymous · Answer

22*22=484 Sq meters of land 484/85 5.69, if you can only get 1 kilo bag you would need six (would have seeds leftover)

anonymous · Answer

Probably 6 bags if one cannot slice bags into fractions of a bag.
