D. 418.502 ft squared

plz help

Answer 1

Since you have 3 bags, you should first take 3×125.3 (you get 375.9) because one bag covers 125.3 and you have 3 bags. Then to find how much 3/4 of a bag covers take 125.3÷4 (you get 31.325) to see how much a fourth of the bag would cover, then take that number and times it by three (you get 93.975) then to get the total you do 93.975+375.9 and get 469.875, so the answer is A.

Answer 2

A mixed fraction is a fraction derived from the combination of a whole number and an improper fraction(an improper fraction has a numerator and a denominator).

From the given information;

Stephanie owns  $\mathbf{3 \dfrac{3}{4}}$  bags of soil.

If each bag will cover 125.3 ft² in her garden;

Then:

$\mathbf{3 \dfrac{3}{4}}$  bags should will be able to cover:

$=\mathbf{3 \dfrac{3}{4} \times 125.3 \f t^2}$

Let's change the mixed fraction to improper fraction, by doing so, we have:

$=\mathbf{ \dfrac{15}{4} \times 125.3 \f t^2}$

= 469.875 ft squared

Option A is correct

Therefore, we can conclude that the square feet will Stephanie be able to cover if she uses all these bags of soil is 469.875 ft squared.
