    Answer: he would need 77 scoops of fertilizer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The measure of Horalco's garden is

    10 1/2 ft by 5 1/2 ft. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 21/2 ft by 11/2 ft. The garden is rectangular in shape and the formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

    Area = length * width.

    Therefore, area of the garden is

    21/2 * 11/2 = 231/4 ft²

    He needs 1 1/3 scoops of fertilizer for each square foot of the garden. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 scoops. Therefore, the number of scoops of fertilizer that Horaclo need for the entire garden is

    4/3 * 231/4 = 77 scoops of fertilizer.
