First, we need to find the area of the rectangular field in square yards:
90 meters x 162 meters = 14,580 square meters
14,580 square meters/1.196 = 12,184.6 square yards (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Next, we need to determine how many pallets of grass we will need. Since each pallet covers 90 square yards, we can divide the total area by 90:
12,184.6 square yards / 90 square yards per pallet = 135.38 pallets
We round up to 136 pallets to make sure we have enough.
The cost will be the number of pallets multiplied by the cost per pallet:
136 pallets x $214 per pallet = $29,104
Therefore, it will cost $29,104 to cover the field with pallets of grass.
A rectangular field measures 90
meters by 162
meters. What will it cost to cover the field with pallets of grass each covering 90 square yards and costing $214
per pallet? (Hint: 1 yd almost equals 0.9 m
)
