5/32 = 16/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many square feet 16 bags of mulch could cover, we'll first calculate the coverage of one bag.
If 5 bags cover 32 square feet, we can divide the total coverage by the number of bags:
32 square feet ÷ 5 bags = 6.4 square feet per bag.
Now, we can find out how many square feet 16 bags could cover by multiplying the coverage per bag by the number of bags:
6.4 square feet per bag × 16 bags = 102.4 square feet.
Therefore, 16 bags of mulch could cover approximately 102.4 square feet.
