(a) Find the area of Abdul's flower bed in square feet. Do not round intermediate computations and round your final answer to two decimal places. Use the table of conversion facts, as needed. \text { \I } \mathrm{ft}^{2} (b) Abdul wants to cover his flower bed with mulch. He doesn't have any to begin with and he can't buy partial bags of mulch. Each bag of mulch covers 1.7ft21.7 \mathrm{ft}^{2}. How many whole bags of mulch does Abdul need to buy to completely cover his flower bed? \square bags (c) If each bag of mulch costs $3.47\$ 3.47, how much will he need to spend on mulch?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total cost of the mulch:
Each bag costs $3.47\$3.47.
Total cost=7 bags×$3.47/bag \text{Total cost} = 7 \text{ bags} \times \$3.47/\text{bag}
Total cost=$24.29 \text{Total cost} = \$24.29
Round to the nearest cent:
Total cost=$24.29 \text{Total cost} = \$24.29
The area of Abdul's flower bed is approximately 11.59 ft211.59 \text{ ft}^2, he needs to buy 77 bags of mulch, and the total cost will be $24.29\$24.29.
