Question 235441: A bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn. How many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 260 ffet by 180 feet?

First, you multiply 260 and 180 to see how many square feet to cover.
260x180=46800
Then you divide by 3000.
46800/3000=15.6
you can't buy 15.6 bags of fertilizer, so round up to 6 bags of fertilizer.
ANSWER: 6 bags
