Amy's garden is in the shape of a rectangle. It measures 15 ft long and 12 ft wide. She wants to cover the garden with straw for the winter. The coverage of each bale of straw is measured in square yards. (a) Find the area of the garden in square yards. Use the table of conversion facts, as needed. Conversion facts for length I foot (fA) = 12 inches (in) 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (f) 1 yard (yd) (b) Amy wants to cover her garden with straw. She doesn't have any to begin with and she can't buy partial bales of straw. Each bale of straw covers 7 yd. How many whole bales of straw will she need to buy in order to completely cover her garden? = 36 inches (in) bales (c) If each bale of straw costs $7.50, how much will Amy need to spend on straw?

Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
