Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The driveway has the shape of a cuboid. The formula for determining the volume if a cuboid is expressed as
Volume = L × W × H
Where
H represents the thickness of the gravel to be added to the driveway.
W represents the width of the driveway.
L represents the length of the driveway.
From the information given,
L = 15 yards
W = 3 yards
H = 6 inches.
36 inches = 1 yard
6 inches = 6/36 = 0.167 yard
Therefore, the volume of gravel required would be
V = 15 × 3 × 0.167 = 7.515 cubic yards
Answer:
5.2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle with 3 equal sides
Divide the equilateral triangle into two congruent triangles and use Pythagoras theorem to find the height
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = height
b = base = 6 in / 2 = 3 in
c = hypotenuse = 6 in
6² = 3² + h²
h = 36 - 9 = 27
√27 = 5.196 inch
to the nearest tenth = 5.2 in
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
There are a couple of things you didn't mention.
In order to come up with an answer to the question,
I have to assume reasonable numbers for them, and
then answer the question that I have invented.
Assumption #1: Each day that you work, you work for 8 hours.
Assumption #2: You work for three days each week.
If those assumptions are true, then you earn
($7.25 / hour) x (8 hours/day) x (3 days/week) x (2 weeks) =
($7.25 x 8 x 3 x 2) = $348 before taxes and other deductions.
Okay. You have 15 lbs of concrete, and x bags that can individually hold 2.5 lbs. What you need to do is divide 15 by 2.5, and the quotient will be 6.
Problem: 15 ÷ 2.5 = 6
So the answer to your problem will be: 6 bags.
