Maths Problem

Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20 metres by 35 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?3 1/2

Remember: length X width

20 x 30=600

20 x 5=100

600 + 100=700

700 ÷ 2=350 Today i solved this word problem using place value pationing which is a stage six strategy.

My next goal is to solve my problems using rounding and compensating.

Usain St. Leo Bolt born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. Widely regarded as the fastest person ever, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time measurements became mandatory in 1977.

Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and an eight-time World champion.
