Question 1014580: Patio blocks are packaged in bundles containing enough blocks to cover 16 per feet. Sophie wants to build a patio having dimensions 18 ft by 13 ft. What is the least number of bundles of blocks she should order?

The area is 18 ft by 13 ft = 18*13 = 234 ft^2
Divide that by 16 and get
234 / 16 = 14.625
She would need 15 bundles.
