She sent her soil sample to the laboratory to be tested. The results from the sample indicated the need to apply 2 pounds of 15-15-15 (Nitrogen- Phosphorus-Potassium) fertiliser per 100 square feet (𝑓𝑡 2 ). She plans to spread the fertiliser over a 20 x 15 foot area for corn. She has three 10-foot rows; one each for carrots, lettuce and spinach. She also has 10 tomato plants, which are fertilised individually. Use the picture below that shows Nonine’s rectangular garden and the conversion table given to answer QUESTION 2.1 30 ft 25 ft 10 foot 10 foot 10 foot 1 𝑚 = 3,281𝑓𝑡 1 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 = 2 𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑠 1 𝑐𝑢𝑝 = 250 𝑚ℓ 1𝑚2 = 10,764𝑓𝑡 2 2.1.1 Write down the length and the width of Nonine’s garden in feet.
