Caroline has enough pumpkin seeds to cover an area of 350 square feet. Her garden measures 18 feet by 22 feet. Does she have enough pumpkin seeds to fill the whole garden? Explain.

A = area the available pumpkin seeds cover = 350 square feet

w = width of the garden = 18 feet

L = length of the garden = 22 feet

A' = area of the garden

Area of the garden is given as

A' = L w

inserting the values

A' = 22 x 18

A' = 396 square feet

clearly, we see that the area of garden is greater than the area the available seeds can cover

A' > A Since 396>350

hence she does not have enough pumpkin seeds to fill the whole garden.
