Answer: 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to cover his backyard with sod, he needs to cover the area of the backyard.
His backyard is a rectangle, and area of a rectangle represented by A is given as l*w
Where,
is the length, and
is the width
So, the area of Jim's backyard is square yards.
l*w=12/5/6*10/2/5=2002/15 or 133.466
The area of each sods are solved using the area of the rectangle formula.
l*w=1/1/3*1/1/3=16/9
To find HOW MANY of these sods we would need to cover the whole backyard, we divide the backyard area by each sod area:
=2002/15 divided by 16 /9=3003/40or 75.075
Since, fractional sods can't be bought, Jim has to buy 75 sods approximately .
