Question: 420
4. Paul has a garden that is 4 meters by 7 meters. If he uses 2 ounces of fertilizer per square meter, how many ounces must he use?
- A. 21 oz
- B. 42 oz
- C. 44 oz
- D. 50 oz
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E is correct. Calculate the number of square meters in the garden and then determine how many ounces of fertilizer are needed. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length × the width. So the area of the garden is 4 × 7 = 28 m2. Paul needs 2 oz of fertilizer for every square meter, so 2 × 28 = 56 oz.
