a rectangular plot of land is to be seeded with grass. If the plot is 22m x 28m and a 1kg bag of seed is needed for 85m squared of land, how many bags of seed are needed?
22 * 28 = 616 sq. meters
616/85 = ?
7.24
I doubt if you can buy 7.24 of a bag.
How many bags would you need to buy?
To find out how many bags of seed are needed, we need to determine the area of the rectangular plot of land first.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the plot is 22m and the width is 28m:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 22m x 28m
Area = 616m²
Now that we know the area of the plot is 616m², we can calculate how many 1kg bags of seed are required. We are given that 1kg of seed is needed for 85m² of land.
To find the number of bags, we divide the total area of the plot by the area covered by one bag of seed:
Number of Bags = Total Area / Area Covered by One Bag
Number of Bags = 616m² / 85m²
Calculating this division, we find:
Number of Bags ≈ 7.25
Since you can't have a fraction of a bag, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you would need a minimum of 8 bags of seeds to cover the entire rectangular plot.
