Answer 1

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Matt plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway. The portion is 8 feet long and 4 inches high. The price of concrete is $98 per cubic yard. The total cost of the concrete Matt needs is $58.07. Which of the following is closest to the width of the portion of the driveway on which Matt plans to put concrete?. . [1 foot = 12 inches; 1 yard = 3 feet]. a. 0.5 feet. b. 1.5 feet. c. 3 feet. d. 6 feet

Answer:

OPTION D is correct

d)6feet

Step by step Explanation:

We were given The price of concrete as $98 per cubic yard

Price= $98 /yrd³

But 1 foot = 12 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

Square both side we have,

Then 1yrd³ = 27 ft³.

So we can use this conversion factor to convert $98 /yrd³ to per ft³ as follows

$98 /yd³) ×(1 yrd³ / 27 ft³) = $ 98/27/ft³

If we denote the width of the portion as "y"

then the volume of the rectangular portion of the driveway =

= (8 ft) (1/3 ft) x = 8y/3 ft³

But we're given The total cost of the concrete Matt needs as $58.07,

Total cost = $58.07 = (8y/3)(98/27)

y= 5.99957 ft= 6feet

Therefore, the width of the portion of the driveway is 6feet
