campbell_st · Answer

find the area of the lawn 

A = 410 x 65

then divide the area by 2500

this will give the number of fertiliser bags needed for the lawn

if the answer is a decimal, round you answer up to the nearest whole number

I got 10.66 so rouding up would make it... 11? right?

campbell_st · Answer

that's correct, because you can't really purchase 0.666 or 2/3 of a bag, you would have to purchase a whole bag... and then have some left in the shed
