Answer:
2 cubic yards
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we are simply finding the volume of a 3D shape. We can calculate this by L × W × H.
9.5 × 12 × 1/3 = 48 ft³
(Note: 4 inches is 1/3 foot)
This means Rosilaine needs 48 cubic feet of wood chips. However, the wood chips are sold in yards, so we need to convert cubic feet to cubic yards.
48 ÷ 27 = 1.777 (repeating decimal)
This means Rosilaine should buy 2 cubic yards of wood chips.
