Answer 5

Volume of the planter divided by volume of 1 bag

Answer 6

I would change all the measurements into "feet"
and then multiply length* width * height to get the volume in cubic feet
divide that by 0.625 to get the number of bags.

What do you get for the measurements of the planter, when converted to feet?

Answer 7

btw, the answer is NOT 36
