Question
Persephone is creating a flower garden in her back yard. If she needs 30 pounds of soil per square foot of the flower garden, how much soil will Persephone need to create her garden?
Solution
To answer this question, we need to know the size of Persephone's flower garden in square feet. The amount of soil needed will be the size of the garden in square feet multiplied by 30 pounds.
For example, if her garden is 10 square feet, she would need 10 (square feet) * 30 (pounds of soil per square foot) = 300 pounds of soil.
Without the size of the garden, we cannot provide a specific answer.
