Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • topsoil : 4 inch  
  • 28 ft by 14 ft garden
  • increments of 1/4 cubic yards

We need to convert all the units into yards. to find out the number of cubic yards you need to buy

As we know:

1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

=> 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

=> 1 feet = 1/3 yard

  • So the volume of the topsoil is:

= 4(1/36)(28)(1/3)(14)(1/3)

= 4.839 cubic yard

So the number of cubic yards you need to buy :

4.839 : 1/4  ≈ 19

Hope it will find you well.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 in

so 1 in = 1/36 yard,  1 ft = 1/3 yard.

The volume of the layer of the topsoil, is:

4 in * 28 ft * 14 ft = 4 *(1/36)*23*(1/3)*17*(1/3)  yard cubed =

(4*28*14)/(36*3*3)= 1955/324=

The store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

we need 6.034/0.25=

So we need to buy 25 (24 will not be enough) increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

Answer:

RST

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the angles for M, N and O. They are equal to 79, 60, and 42 degrees, respectively. Now look at the triangle to the right of triangle MNO. In what order should we line up the letters so that the angles for that triangle should also equal 79, 60 and 42 degrees? If you look at it for a second, you should that this problem is easy to solve! Did you get it right! That's right, by lining up the angles in the order RST, the measure of each angle is equal to the measures of MNO.

Give me Brainliest and have a great day! :)
