To find the total number of bags of soil needed for all 5 raised garden beds, you should multiply the number of bags required for one raised garden bed by the number of raised garden beds. In this case, Bismah needs 17 bags of soil for each raised garden bed, and she is building 5 raised garden beds.
So, to get the total number of bags of soil needed, you can perform the following calculation:
Total bags of soil = Number of bags per raised garden bed × Number of raised garden beds
Plugging in the numbers:
Total bags of soil = 17 bags × 5 raised garden beds
Now, multiply 17 by 5 to get the final answer:
Total bags of soil = 85 bags
Therefore, Bismah will need 85 bags of soil for all 5 raised garden beds.
