To find the number of bags of soil the landscaper uses, we need to divide the total weight of soil by the weight of each bag.
1225 pounds ÷ 40 pounds/bag = 30.625 bags
Since the number of bags should be a whole number, the landscaper uses 30 bags of soil to complete the project.
1225 pounds ÷ 40 pounds/bag = 30.625 bags
Since the number of bags should be a whole number, the landscaper uses 30 bags of soil to complete the project.
