Oscar is landscaping his yard. He is putting mulch in the flower beds to help minimize weeds. He has 4 1/4 bags of mulch in his shed to use. Each bag of mulch will cover 70.8 ft.2. If Oscar uses all of the mulch that he has, how many sq. ft. will it cover? a 75.05 ft.2 b 282 ft.2 c 300.9 ft2 d 284 ft.2

c) 300.9 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

He has 4 1/4 bags of mulch in his shed to use. Each bag of mulch will cover 70.8 ft².

Hence:

1 bag of mulch = 70.8ft²

4 1/4 bags of mulch = x ft²

Cross Multiply

1 bag × x ft² = 4 1/4 × 70.8

x ft² = 4 1/4 × 70.8/1

x = 300.9 ft²

Option c is correct.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

mean, 40.6
