Carlos is fertilizing his garden. The garden is in the shape of a rectangle is Lance is 16 feet in its width is 13 feet suppose each bag of fertilizer covers 26 ft.². How many bags will he need to cover the garden
To find the area of the garden, we need to multiply the width by the length: 16 feet * 13 feet = <<16*13=208>>208 square feet.
Since each bag of fertilizer covers 26 square feet, we divide the total area of the garden by the area covered by one bag: 208 square feet / 26 square feet/bag = <<208/26=8>>8 bags. Answer: \boxed{8}.
To find out how many bags of fertilizer Carlos will need, we first need to calculate the area of the garden.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the width of the garden is 16 feet and the length is 13 feet.
Area of the garden = length × width
Area of the garden = 13 ft × 16 ft
Area of the garden = 208 ft²
Now that we know the area of the garden is 208 ft² and each bag of fertilizer covers 26 ft², we can divide the area of the garden by the coverage of each bag to find out how many bags Carlos will need.
Number of bags needed = Area of the garden / Coverage of each bag
Number of bags needed = 208 ft² / 26 ft²
Number of bags needed = 8 bags
Therefore, Carlos will need 8 bags of fertilizer to cover his garden.
To find out how many bags of fertilizer Carlos will need to cover his garden, we have to calculate the total area of the garden and then divide it by the coverage area of each bag.
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is:
Area = Length x Width
In this case, the length of the garden is not mentioned. However, since the area is the only element we need, we can disregard the actual length and focus only on the width, which is given as 16 feet.
Area = 16 ft x 13 ft
Now, let's calculate the area:
Area = 208 ft²
Next, divide the total area of the garden by the coverage area of each bag of fertilizer, which is 26 ft²:
Bags = Area ÷ Coverage Area
Bags = 208 ft² ÷ 26 ft²
Bags = 8
Therefore, Carlos will need 8 bags of fertilizer to cover his garden.
