Question

Pepper Ackie has 7.5 bags of mulch to cover 12 yds of edible flower beds. If she wants to distribute the mulch evenly over the beds, about how many bags will she need to use for each square yard?

Answer 1

Answer:  There are 0.052 bags she will needed to use for each square yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bags of mulch to cover 12 yards of edible flower beds = 7.5

And, we need to calculate the number of bags she use for each square yard,

$\text{ Number of bags for each square yard }\\\\=\frac{7.5}{12\times 12}\\\\=0.052\text{ bags per square yard}$

So, there are 0.052 bags she will needed to use for each square yard.
