The floor of the cage measures 11 yardyard wide by 66 feetfeet long. One bag of shavings covers 55 square feetfeet. How many bags will HarperHarper have to buy to cover the floor of the cage? Explain.

3 3/5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.

The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.

1 yard = 3 feet

The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:

3 * 6 = 18 square feet

One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.

To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.

The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :

18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags
