jlastino · Answer

Find the area of the plot (length x width)
Then divide this by 85 to find the number of bags needed

okay I found that is 7.247 so is that the answer or do I round?

jlastino · Answer

Well you can't have 7.247 bags so i guess you round off

anonymous · Answer

so 7 bags  or 8?  I am so not sure.

jlastino · Answer

Someone told me in problems like that 3.2 would become 4.
So 8 would be the answer

okay that is what I thought, but was unsure.  Thanks for your time!  I appreciate it!
