a foreman must order enough sod to cover a dirt area 36 feet wide by 28 feet long. each piece of sod is 3 feet long and 12 inches wide. how many pieces of sod should be ordered to cover that area?​

Respuesta :

If we divide the area we have to cover by the area of a piece, we will get the number of pieces needed:

[tex]n=\dfrac{\text{dirt area}}{\text{piece area}}=\dfrac{36\times 28}{3\times 12} = \dfrac{36\times 28}{36}=28[/tex]
