A landscaper buys 2 bags of grass seed. Each bag covers 5,000 square feet.
A rectangular lawn is 200 feet long and 40 feet wide.
i) Does the landscaper have enough seed to cover the lawn once?
Does the landscaper have enough seed to cover the lawn twice?
ii)

The problem tells us that each bag of seed covers 5000 square feet, so if the landscaper bought 2 bags he can cover 10000 square feet, then the landscaper with the two bags of seed can cover the 8000 square feet of grass only once. As he only has enough seed left over to cover 2000 square feet of grass, he does not have enough left to cover the lawn

area of law = 200×40
