Answer:

B. 18 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to determine the area of the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden is a rectangle with the following dimensions:

L = 24 ft

W = 9 ft

The Formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$A = L\times W$

So let's solve it:

$A = L\timesW\\A = 24 ft\times9ft\\A= 216ft^{2}$

With that, we can figure out how many bags of fertilizer would be needed by dividing the area of the vegetable garden by how much one bag of fertilizer covers:

$\dfrac{214ft^2}{12ft^2/bag}=18\;bags$
