Kaitlin is fertilizing her garden. The garden is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 14 feet and its width is 11 feet. Suppose each bag of fertilizer covers 22 square feet. How many bags will she need to cover the garden?
First, calculate the area of the garden:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 14 feet x 11 feet
Area = 154 square feet
Next, calculate how many bags of fertilizer she will need:
Number of bags = Area / Coverage per bag
Number of bags = 154 square feet / 22 square feet
Number of bags = 7 bags
Kaitlin will need 7 bags of fertilizer to cover her garden.
