The total cost of renting the jet ski, excluding the deposit, is $120 - $50 = $<<120-50=70>>70.
To convert 2 1/2 hours to decimal form, we divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (2) and add it to the whole number (2).
2 1/2 = 2 + 5/2 = 2 + 2.5 = 4.5 hours.
Thus, the cost per hour to rent the jet ski is $70 / 4.5 hours = $<<70/4.5=15.56>>15.56. Answer: \boxed{15.56}.

to cover if she uses all these bags of soil?
To convert 3 3/4 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (4) and add the numerator (3) to get 15 + 3 = 18/4.
Then we add the improper fraction to get 18/4 + 3/4 = 21/4.
So, Stephanie has a total of 21/4 bags of soil.
To calculate how many square feet she can cover, we multiply the number of bags by the coverage per bag: 21/4 * 125 3/10 ft^2.
To multiply the mixed numbers, we first multiply the whole numbers (21 * 125 = 2625).
Then we multiply the numerators (4 * 3 = 12) and the denominators (4 * 10 = 40)
We have 2625 + 12/40 ft^2.
To simplify 12/40, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4.
We have 2625 + 3/10 ft^2.
Thus, Stephanie will be able to cover a total of 2625 + 3/10 ft^2. Answer: \boxed{2625\frac{3}{10}}.
