First of all the dimensions of lawn should be expressed as feet:
L = 39.8 m = 39.8×3.28 ft = 130.544 ft
W = 20.2 m = 20.2×3.28 ft = 66.256 ft
Then the square of the lawn is:
S = L×W = 130.544 ft × 66.256 ft = 8649.32 ft2
If 1 ft2 corresponds 0.51 pounds, the amount of fertilizer which we need to buy is defined:
M = 0.51 × S = 0.51 × 8649.32 lb = 4411.16 lb
