If you need 19 bags of fertilizer for a specific area, how many square meters can each bag effectively cover if the total area is 3800 square meters?

  1. 200 m²

  2. 250 m²

  3. 300 m²

  4. 400 m²

The correct answer is: 200 m²

To find out how many square meters each bag of fertilizer can cover, you need to divide the total area by the number of bags. In this case, you have a total area of 3800 square meters and require 19 bags of fertilizer. By performing the calculation: Total area ÷ Number of bags = Area covered per bag 3800 m² ÷ 19 bags = 200 m² per bag. This means that each bag of fertilizer can effectively cover an area of 200 square meters. This calculation is straightforward and ensures that you understand how to divide the total area by the quantity of bags to find the coverage per bag. Hence, the correct answer is that each bag covers 200 square meters.
