    He'll need 2 bags to cover his yard.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve this problem we first need to calculate the area of Victor's yard. It seemes by the dimmensions given that his yard have a rectangular shape, it's area is given by:

    yard area = length*width

    yard area = 45*50 = 2250 square feet

    Since each bag will cover 1220 square feet, to calculate how many bags are needed for his yeard we need to divide the yard's area by the area each bag can cover. This is shown below:

    number of bags = yard area / bag area = 2250/1220 = 1.84

    Since he can't buy 0.84 bags we will round the number of bags to 2.
