jOSE HAS A 15-M^2 GARDEN AND PLANS TO BUY SOME MULCH TO COVER HIS GARDEN. ON THE BAG OF MULCH IT SAYS ONE BAG OF MULCH WILL COVER 20FT^2. iF EACH BAG COST $2.00 . hOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO MULCH THE GARDEN?
20FT^2*1YD^2/9FT^2*$2.00/1YD^2
15m^2 * (3.28ft/1m)^2 * 1bag/20ft^2 * $2.00/bag = $16.14
you said M^2, then used YD^2. I used meters, but you can fix it.
Your units do not work out right, and you lost the 15
To find out how much it will cost to mulch the garden, we need to calculate the number of bags of mulch needed and then multiply it by the cost of each bag.
First, let's convert the area of the garden from square meters to square feet. We know that 1 square meter is equal to approximately 10.764 square feet. So, 15 square meters is equal to 15 * 10.764 = 161.46 square feet.
Next, let's determine the number of bags of mulch needed. We know that one bag of mulch covers 20 square feet. To find out how many bags we need, we can divide the area of the garden by the coverage of one bag: 161.46 square feet / 20 square feet = 8.073 bags.
Since we can't buy a fraction of a bag, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. So, we need 9 bags of mulch.
Now, let's calculate the cost to mulch the garden. We know that each bag of mulch costs $2.00. To find out the total cost, we can multiply the number of bags needed by the cost per bag: 9 bags * $2.00/bag = $18.00.
Therefore, it will cost $18.00 to mulch the garden.
