Answer :
To determine how many square yards of sod are needed to cover a rectangular garden with an area of 300 square feet, follow these steps:
### Convert Square Feet to Square Yards
1. **Understand the Conversion**:
- 1 square yard = 9 square feet
2. **Set Up the Equation**:
Let \( x \) be the number of square yards of sod needed. Since each square yard covers 9 square feet, the total area in square feet covered by \( x \) square yards is \( 9x \).
Therefore, the equation relating the area in square feet to the area in square yards is:
\[
9x = 300
\]
3. **Solve for \( x \)**:
\[
x = \frac{300}{9}
\]
\[
x \approx 33.33
\]
You will need approximately **33.33 square yards** of sod to cover the garden.
