Complete Question
Alisa hopes to play beach volleyball in the Olympics someday. She has convinced her parents to allow her
to set up a beach volleyball court in their back yard. A standard beach volleyball court is approximately
26 feet by 52 feet. She figures that she will need the sand to be one foot deep. She goes to the hardware store to shop for sand and sees the following signs on pallets containing bags of sand.
Sand A = 60Ibs = $5
Sand B = 150lbs = $12
Alisa uses her cell phone to search how many pounds of sand is required to fill 1 cubic foot and finds the answer is 100 pounds. Choose one of the brands and compute how much it will cost Alisa to purchase enough sand to fill the court. Identify which brand was chosen as part of your answer.. Answer:
For Sand A should would need:
$11.266.67
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we can assume that: her court is 1 cubic foot and can be filled with 100 pounds of sand
First we find the volume of the box
52ft × 26ft × 1 ft
= 1352 ft³
100Ib = 1 ft³
1352 ft³ × 100 Ib/ft³
= 135200Ibs
Sand A = 60Ibs = $5
Hence, $1 = 60Ibs/5
= 12Ibs
To purchase enough sand using Sand A to fill the court
= 135200Ibs/12lbs
= $11.266.67
