Answer:

You need to buy 6.5 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 18 ft garden.

We know 1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

Then 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

1 feet = 1/3 yard

The volume of the layer of the topsoil is given by:

= 5(1/36)(23)(1/3)(18)(1/3) cubic yards

2070/324=6.39 cubic yards

Now, the store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

So, we need to buy 6.39/0.25=25.56 increments

Rounded to 26 increments.

Therefore, we need to buy 26 increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

That becomes 6.5 cubic yards.

5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet

23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards

172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards
