Solution 1

First, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle in square meters. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width. So, 100 meters times 80 meters equals 8000 square meters.

Next, we need to convert this area into square feet because the coverage of the grass seed is given in square feet. We know that 1 meter is equal to 3.281 feet. So, 1 square meter is equal to 3.281 feet times 3.281 feet, which is approximately 10.764 square feet.

Therefore, 8000 square meters is equal to 8000 times 10.764 square feet, which is approximately 86112 square feet.

Finally, we need to calculate how many bags of grass seed Fiola needs. Each bag covers 2222 square feet. So, 86112 divided by 2222 equals approximately 38.76.

So, Fiola will need approximately 39 bags of grass seed, as we usually can't buy a fraction of a bag.

Solution 2

First, we need to convert the dimensions of the field from meters to feet because the coverage of the grass seed is given in square feet.

  1. Convert the length and width of the field from meters to feet: Length = 100 meters * 3.281 feet/meter = 328.1 feet Width = 80 meters * 3.281 feet/meter = 262.48 feet

  2. Calculate the area of the field in square feet: Area = Length * Width = 328.1 feet * 262.48 feet = 86126.608 square feet

  3. Determine the number of bags needed: Number of bags = Area / Coverage per bag = 86126.608 square feet / 2222 square feet/bag = 38.76 bags

Since she can't buy a fraction of a bag, she'll need to round up to the nearest whole number. So, Fiola will need to buy 39 bags of grass seed.
