First we calculate the volume of the foundation:

Volume (V) = 20 ft * 12 ft * 4 in (1 ft / 12 in)

V = 80 ft^3

 

Since the cost is in cubic yard (yard^3) so convert:

V = 80 ft^3 * (1 yard^3 / 27 ft^3) = 2.963 yard^3

 

So the total cost is:

cost = ($125 / yard^3) * 2.963 yard^3

<span>cost = $370.37</span>

Answer:

$370.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 20 feet by 12 feet and 4 inches thick.

First of all, we will convert the given dimensions of foundation in yards.

\text{3 feet}=\text{1 yard}

20\text{ feet}=\frac{20}{3}\text{ yards}

12\text{ feet}=\frac{12}{3}\text{ yards}

\text{36 inches}=\text{1 yard}

\text{4 inches}=\frac{4}{36}\text{ yards}=\frac{1}{9}\text{ yards}

Since the foundation of building is in form of cuboid, so volume of foundation will be the product of 3 sides.

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{20}{3}\text{ yards}\times \frac{12}{3}\text{ yards}\times \frac{1}{9}\text{ yards}

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{20\times 12\times 1}{3\times 3 \times 9}\text{ yards}^3

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{240}{81}\text{ yards}^3

\text{Volume of foundation}=2.962962962962963\text{ yards}^3

Since the local home supply store sells concrete for $125 per cubic yard, so the cost of the concrete for the foundation will be the volume of foundation times $125.

\text{The cost of the concrete for the foundation}=2.962962962962963\text{ yards}^3\times \frac{\$125}{\text{ yards}^3}

\text{The cost of the concrete for the foundation}=\$370.37037\approx \$370.37

Therefore, the cost of the concrete for the foundation is $370.37.

A painter earns $15 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? Write an inequality to rep
IRISSAK [1]

So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked

We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200

so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):

15h =< 200

(divide both sides by 15)

h =< 13 1/3

So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.

What is x in .80x+30=1.20x+14
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x =  40

Step-by-step explanation:

.80x + 30 = 1.20x + 14

<u>-.80x        = -.80x        </u>

          30 = .4x  + 14

        <u>  -14 =         -14</u>

           16 = .4x

            16/.4  = .4/.4x

              40    =  x
