Are we expected to know the conversion of feet - yard?
Anywhom, 1 yard = 3 ft, so 1 sq yard = 9 ft.
The area is 12000 sq ft, which is \(\frac{12000}{9}\), which is \frac{4000}{3}
The greenskeeper needs 1 bag for every 10 square yards, so it is \(\frac{4000}{3*10}\) bags, which can be translated to 133,33 bags and rounded up to 134 bags.
Thus C

Area of the golf field = 12,000 square feet.
The amount of fertiliser used for every square yard = 1 bag.
We know that : 1 yard = 3 feet
1 square yard= 9 square feet
Thus, 12000 square feet = ? Square yards
(12000/9)= 1333.33 square yards.
1 bag of fertiliser = 10 square yards.
X bag of fertiliser = 1333.33 square yards.
Therefore, the number of bags of fertiliser needed = 1333.33/10 = 133.33
So, the number of fertiliser bags needed for 12000 square feet = 134 bags.
Hence, Option C
