Answer:
200 bags are needed
Step-by-step explanation:
First let us determine the area of the corn field:
Shape of cornfield = square
Area of a square = Length × Length
where: Length = 100 yards
∴ Area = 100 × 100 = 10,000 square yards
1 bag of fertilizer is needed to cover 50 square yards:
50 square yards = 1 bag of fertilizer
[tex]\therefore 1 \ square\ yard\ = \frac{1}{50}\ bag\\10,000\ square\ yards\ =\ \frac{1}{50} \times 10,000 = \frac{10l000}{50} \\ = 200 bags[/tex]
Hence, 200 bags are needed.
