600 yards = 600*9 = 5400 sq feet
Now $1 for 450 sq feet
Therefore, $12 for 5400 sq feet (600 yards)

1 gallon for 450 square feet. How many gallons for 600 square yards?

I yard = 3 feet.

Converting 600 square yards to square feet; 600 x 3^2

600 x 9 = 5400

The question now becomes how many 450s are within 5400; 5400/450 = 12.

C, 12 gallons are required.
