4/9 as a percent is (about) 44% Work:
First get a decimal by dividing 4/9(4 divided by 9) you get 0.44 repeating
Next, take away the 0. and add a percent sign at the end of 0.44. You get 44%
Truly, the answer is 44.44444...% because the four repeats, but if you round it is simply 44%
If each bag covers 1.25 ft^2 then you need to divide the total area 60 ft^2 by 1.25 ft^2 and that will tell you the number of bags needed which is 48 bags
I’m not great at explaining but I hope with the way I did the work explains.
