Avegetable garden and it's around a pasta shaped like a square that together are 12 ft wide. a path is 1 feet wide. if one bag of gravel covers 9 square feet, how many bags are needed to cover the path? round your answers to the nearest tenth.

The overall width of the path and garden is 12 feet.

The area of the entire garden and path is 12 x 12 = 144 square feet.

The path is 1 foot wide, so the garden would be 12 - 2 = 20 feet wide.

The area of the garden only would be 10 x 10 = 100 square feet.

The area of the path only = 144 - 100 = 44 square feet.

1 bag covers 9 square feet:

44 / 9 = 4.88

You would need 5 bags.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

the answer will be b x² +x-1
