Answer 1

11/30 bags of mulch is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the number of bags of mulch.

7 (1/2) sq. yards need 2(3/4) bags of mulch.

So one sq. yd need 2(3/4) / 7(1/2)

We have to change the mixed fraction into improper fraction and then dividing them we will get the answer.

2(3/4) = ((2×4)+ 3)/4 = (8+ 3)/4 = 11/4

7(1/2) = ((7×2)+1)/2 = (14+1)/2 = 15/2

11/4 ÷ 15/2

It change into multiplication as,

11/4 × 2/15 = 11/30 bags of mulch is needed.
