Metro Gardens: Inniswood Metro Gardens is currently a 123 acre Columbus Metro park which includes a botanical garden. The park was originally a 37 acre family estate that was donated to become a park. Suppose that 12% of the current park is covered with mulch (a layer of soil and fertilizer) each year. (1 acre = 43,560 square feet) (12 inches = 1 foot) Remember to show and explain all your work, including units. (A) How many acres need to be covered with mulch each year? (B) How many square feet is your answer in part (A)? (C) The mulch needs to be 3 inches deep, and each bag of mulch holds 3 cubic feet of mulch. How many bags would need to be bought to mulch the area you found in part (B)? (D) Assume each bag of mulch costs $4.35. How much would buying all of this mulch cost?
