Answer 1

Answer:

Ms. Rice need to purchase 9 lengths of edging.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of edging Ms. Rice need to replace = 166.25 ft

Length of edging lengths sold = 19 ft

Total number of lengths of edging Ms. Rice needs to purchase = $\frac{length\ to\ be\ replaced}{edging\ lengths}= \frac{166.25}{19}= 8.75$

Since she would purchase whole lengths so it would rounded to 9 in number.

∴ Ms. Rice need to purchase 9 lengths of edging.
