Use division to answer the question
Javier is putting down sod at his new house. The width of his rectangle yard is 14 feet, he bought 378 square feet of sod. Which of the following is the length of the yard in feet
A: 2 tens plus 2 equals 22
B: 2 tens plus 4 equals 24
C: 2 tens plus 7 equals 27
D: 2 tens plus 8 equals 28
To find the length of the yard, we can divide the total area of the yard (378 square feet) by the width of the yard (14 feet).
Length = Area / Width
Length = 378 square feet / 14 feet
Using long division, we can find the quotient:
_____
14 | 378
- 28
-----
58
- 56
-----
2
The quotient is 27 with a remainder of 2. Therefore, the length of the yard is 27 feet.
So the answer is C: 2 tens plus 7 equals 27.
