Question

Raul wants to put wood shavings in his rabbit cage. The floor of the cage measures 1 yard wide by 5 feet long. One bag of shavings covers 10 square feet. How many bags will Raul have to buy to cover the floor of the cage? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = 1 yard = 3 feet

Length = 5 feet

Square feet(area) of the floor = 5ft × 3ft = 15sqft

1 bag = 10sqft

x bag = 15sqft

x bags = (15 × 1)/10 = 1.5 bags
