Question 1152265: A rectangular field measures 90 meters by 126 meters. What will it cost to cover the field with pallets of grass each covering 90 square yards and costing $205 per pallet? (Hint: 1 yd almost equals 0.9 m)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ( 90 m ) x ( 0.9 yds/m ) = 81 yds
( 126 m ) x ( 0.9 yds/m ) = 113.4 yds
------------ yds2
------------
The number of pallets needed is: pallets
------------
The total cost is: ( cost / pallet ) x ( number of pallets )
$20,922.30

Tutor @josmicely INCORRECTLY converted meters to yards.
90 meters = (about) = 100 yards.
126 meters = (about) = 140 yards.
The area in square yards = 100*140 = 14000 square yards.
In terms of pallets, the area is = 155.56 pallets (approximately).
The cost = 205*155.56 = 31890 dollars. ANSWER (estimation)
