You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, you multiply 260 and 180 to see how many square feet to cover.
\n" ); document.write( "260x180=46800
\n" ); document.write( "Then you divide by 3000.
\n" ); document.write( "46800/3000=15.6
\n" ); document.write( "you can't buy 15.6 bags of fertilizer, so round up to 6 bags of fertilizer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 6 bags
\n" ); document.write( "
