Answer:

$1111.11        

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a building contractor is to dig a foundation 50 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep.

Let us find the volume of the dirt dig from the foundation.  

\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=50\text{ feet}*20\text{ feet}*10\text{ feet}    

\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=10000\text{ feet}^{3}    

Since, 1 cubic feet= 0.037037 cubic yards. Let us convert volume of dirt dig into cubic yards by multiplying 10,000 by 0.037037.

\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=10000*0.037037=370.3704  

Now let us find how many truckload will hold 370.3704 cubic yards of dirt by dividing 370.3704 by 5.

\text{Number of truckloads needed}=\frac{370.3704 }{5}

\text{Number of truckloads needed}=74.07408

Now let us multiply number of truckloads by 15 to find the total cost to haul away all the dirt.

\text{Total cost}=74.07408*15

\text{Total cost}=1111.1112

Therefore, the cost to have all the dirt hauled away is $1111.11.

Your history test is out of 30 points. How many points would you need to get if you wanted a ‘B’ or higher? (Hint: A grade of 80
Sloan [31]
To get a B, you need at least 80%.

30 x 0.8 = 24

80% of 30 is 24, so you would need to get at least 24 points <3

3.<br>What is the<br>distributive property<br>of<br>40 + 64?​
Ivan

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a distributive property question though.

A distributive property has a number (a) outside the parenthesis

a(b+c)

so in this case a(40+64)

then you would multiply a by both numbers

40a+64a

then add them together

104a

However if it is a number outside the parenthesis and not a variable, it will come out different

For example

5(40+64)

(5*40)+(5*64)

200+320

520

Hope this helps!
