$\huge\bf\underline{Question:}$

Danny has a rectangular rose garden that measures 8m by 10m.One bag of fertilizer can cover 16sq.m.How many bags will be used to covers the entire garden?

$\huge\bf\underline{Solution:}$

First we need to find the area of the garden.

$\boxed{\sf{\red{Area\: of\: rectangle=length\times breadth}}}$

$\implies 8 \times 10 \\ \implies80 {m}^{2}$

It is given that one bag of fertilizer covers an area of 16 sq.metres.

Number of bags of fertilizers required

$\boxed{\sf{\red{ \frac{area \: of \: garden}{area \: covered \: by \: one \: bag \: o f\: fertilizer}}}}$

$\implies \frac{80}{16} \\ \implies 5\:bags$

Therefore, 5 bags of fertilizer is required to cover the entire rose garden.
