Answer:
Raul have to buy 5 bags of wood shaving to cover the floor of the cage.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Dimension of the cage;
Length of the cage = 7 feet
Width of the cage = 1 yard.
Area of 1 bag of wood shavings = 5 square feet.
We need to find the number of bags Raul Have to buy to cover the floor of the cage.
Solution:
Now we can see that;
Width of the cage = 1 yard.
So we will convert yard into feet.
Now we know that;
1 yard = 3 feet
Width of the cage = 3 feet
Now we will find the area of the cage.
Area of the cage is equal to Length of the cage multiplied by width of the cage.
framing in equation form we get;
Area of the cage = [tex]7\times3 =21\ ft^2[/tex]
Now we will find the number of bags required to cover the cage.
number of bags required to cover the cage can be calculated by dividing Area of the cage by Area of 1 bag of wood shavings.
framing in equation form we get;
number of bags required to cover the cage = [tex]\frac{21}{5}=4.25[/tex]
Hence we can say that;
Raul have to buy 5 bags of wood shaving to cover the floor of the cage.
