Check the picture below.
whenever we do division of decimals, we have to mind how many decimals are there on each amount, the dividend as well as the divisor, that way we pad with zeros the other amount accordingly whilst losing the dot, for example, to say divide 3 by 0.123, 3 has no decimals, whilst 0.<u>123</u> has three decimals, so we can just divide 3<u>000</u> by 0123, so dividing 3 by 0.123 is the same as dividing 3000 by 123. Another example, if we were to divide say 23.761 by 555.89331, the dividend has 3 decimals, that means 3 zeros the other way, the divisor has 5 decimals, that means 5 zeros the other way while losing the dots, so we'd end up dividing 23761<u>00000</u> by 55589331<u>000</u>, which we can simplify to just 2376100 by 5589331, as you can see in the picture in this case.
We are given
Jim's backyard:
Length is
width is
Since, this is rectangle
so, we can find area of rectangle
Area of one sod:
length is
width is
Since, it is rectangle in shape
so,
Number of pieces of sod:
we can use formula
Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)
now, we can simplify it
pieces need ..............Answer
