Question

Bernice wants to seed her large back yard with grass. Her back yard is in the shape of a rectangle with dimensions 130 feet by 100 feet. The seed costs $5.99 for a 1-pound bag, and each bag covers up to 1050 square feet. How much will the seed cost?

Answer 1

I'll seed her backyard......

Answer 2

Find the area of the rectangle. Then divide it by 1050 which will equal the amount of bags needed. Always round that number up if it is a fraction as you can only buy whole number bags.

Answer 3

Then multiply the number of bags with the price.

Answer 4

Have a good day.

Answer 5

Find the area of her backyard first
Area of rectangle = length width
130ft(100ft)
13000 square feet

Then find the required number of bags to fill the backyard
Each bag covers 1050 feet so
13000/1050 = 12.38
or 12 bags since you can't ask for 12.38 bags lol

Multiply 12 by $5.99
= 71.88

The seeds will cost $71.88

Answer 6

Woah woah. No answers unless they try it first. Helping not giving.

Answer 7

you go to 13 bags right? So the answer is $77.87, right?

Answer 8

I'm used to giving answers but i understand how spoonfeeding is not the best way in giving answers in os T_T

@mathhelp89: I'm not sure of that because when you round of 12.38 it becomes 12 so it's still $71.88

Answer 9

You round up always. It is 13 bags.

Answer 10

You will be short that .38 bags of seed....
