Tricia wants to create a path out of pebbles. She has 8 bags of pebbles and each bag covers an area of about 6 square feet. If she wants to make the path 2 feet wide, about how long can she make the path ? Show your work
explain how u got this
Do you have any work to show on this question so far?
please tell me the area formula
C. 24, 8×6=48. 48÷2=24 ft long
To find out how long Tricia can make the path, we need to calculate the total area that can be covered by the pebbles.
The area covered by one bag of pebbles is given as 6 square feet. Since Tricia has 8 bags, we can multiply the area covered by one bag by the number of bags to find the total area:
6 square feet/bag * 8 bags = 48 square feet
Now, we need to determine the length of the path. The path is 2 feet wide, which means the width is given as 2 feet.
Considering the formula for the area of a rectangle (length * width), we can rearrange the formula to find the length:
length = area / width
Plugging in the values:
length = 48 square feet / 2 feet = 24 feet.
Therefore, Tricia can make the path approximately 24 feet long using the 8 bags of pebbles she has.

Interesting question. Do you have any work on this so far?
If the path is 2 feet wide, how long can she make the path with only one bag of pebbles?
