You need to cover the playground of a child development center with mulch. The playground is 125 feet long and 60 feet wide. You want the mulch to be at least 6 inches deep. How many cubic yards of mulch should you have delivered? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
change 125 and 60 into inches 1500 and 720 1500*720=1,080,000 (area) multiply by 6 1,080,000*6=6,480,000 divide by 12 to make it into feet 6,480,000/12=540,000 divide by 3 to make it into yards you need 180000 cubic feet of mulch
