Question

a rectangular playground is 40 meters by 10 meters. its area will be covered with shredded tires. each bag of shredded tires covers 200 square meters and costs $30. find the total cost for this project.

Answer 1

First, we need to find the area of the rectangular playground.
To do this, we must multiply 40 by 10.
We get 400 meters².
Now divide 400 by 200 and you get 2.
That means 2 bags will be needed to cover the entire area of the playground.
To find the price, multiply 30 by 2.
The total cost for this project will be $60.
Hope this helped you out! :)
