Xavier wants to buy fertilizer for his yard the yard measures 35' by 55 feet The directions on the bag of fertilizer say that one bag will cover 1,250 square feet how many bags of fertilizer how many bags of fertilizer should Xavier by A 2 B 4 C 3 D 1

A, 2. 35 times 55 represents the area, and that equals 1925. Subtract the 1250 from one bag from the 1925 you need to cover the area (do 1925-1250) to find how much more you need after using one bag. That gets you 675, so you'll need one more bag to cover that for 2 bags in total. The second bag will put you over the 675 you need, but that's ok because now you have enough to cover the 1925 sq foot area.
