plese respond or answer
You posted a question. Wait for a response. Whining about it will not produce help any sooner. And geez, learn how to type fractions
divide the area of the yard by the area of one piece of sod
((16 5/6)*(10 2/5)) ÷ ((1 1/3)*(1 1/3)) = 98.475
so, 99 pieces should do the job
but, if you don't want to use the scraps,
(16 5/6) ÷ (1 1/3) = 12 5/8
(10 2/5) ÷ (1 1/3) = 7 4/5
so the yard will require 13*8 = 104 pieces
