To find the number of bags of soil Kailee needs to buy, we first need to calculate the area of the rhombus.

Given:
- One diagonal of the rhombus is 6 feet.
- The other diagonal of the rhombus is 11 feet.
- One bag of soil covers 1.75 square feet.

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula:
$$ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{product of diagonals} $$

Substitute the given values into the formula:
$$ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 11 $$
$$ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 66 $$
$$ \text{Area} = 33 \, \text{square feet} $$

Since one bag of soil covers 1.75 square feet, the number of bags needed can be calculated by dividing the total area by the area covered by one bag:
$$ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total area}}{\text{Area covered by one bag}} $$
$$ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{33}{1.75} $$

Now, let's calculate the number of bags Kailee needs to buy.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
  $$\frac{33}{1.75}$$
- step1: Convert the expressions:
  $$\frac{33}{\frac{7}{4}}$$
- step2: Multiply by the reciprocal:
  $$33\times \frac{4}{7}$$
- step3: Multiply:
  $$\frac{33\times 4}{7}$$
- step4: Multiply:
  $$\frac{132}{7}$$
Kailee needs to buy $$18\frac{6}{7}$$ or approximately 18.8571 bags of soil to cover the entire area of her garden.
Kailee needs to buy 19 bags of soil to cover her garden.
