    Answer:

    The thickness of the new dirt cover is 0.144 yards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Dimension of garden = 25 feet by 25 feet.

    Volume of soil bought = 10 cubic yards

    Volume = length x width x height

    But,

    1 foot = 0.333333 yard

    So that,

    25 feet = 25 x 0.333333

                = 8.33333 yards

    The new dimension of the garden = 8.33333 yards by 8.33333  yards.

    Let the thickness of the new dirt cover be represented by h.

    Thus,

    Volume = 8.33333 x 8.33333 x h

    10 = 69.44439 x h

    h = \frac{10}{69.44439}

      = 0.144

    h = 0.144 yards

    The thickness of the new dirt cover is 0.144 yards.
