Question

Jesse's soccer team volunteers to lay mulch on the ground for padding at the local playground. Each bag of mulch will cover ten feet squared. If the playground is a square that is twenty feet on each side, how many bags of mulch will they need?

Answer 1

4
5
10
40

Answer 2

ok so 20 by 20 for the area of the playground
400 feet squared is the area and each bag of mulch covers 10 feet squared so 400 divided by ten gives you the answer
400 divided by 10 is solved by eliminating 1 zero from behind the 400 so the answer is 40
