A bag of fertilizer covers 300 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 290 feet by 150 feet.
The area of a rectangle is length * width, so we have:
A = 290 * 150
A = 43,500 sq ft.
Now, to find the number of bags needed for a 300 square feet per bag of fertilizer, we have:
Bags Needed = Total Square Feet of Lawn / Square Feet covered per bag
Bags Needed = 43,500 / 300
Bags Needed = 145
