The answer is 139 cubic yards
This mulch will be of cylindrical shape.
The volume (V) of a cylinder is:
V = l · w · h (l - length, w - width, h - height (in our example, height = depth)
It is known:
l = 125 feet
w = 60 feet
h = 6 inches = 0.5 feet
V = l · w · h = 125 · 60 · 0.5 = 3750 feet³
Since 1 cubic foot is 0.037 cubic yards, 3750 cubic feet are 139 cubic yards:
0.037 · 3750 feet³ = 138.75 cubic yards ≈ 139 cubic yards
7/8 in decimal form is 0.875 because you are dividing 7 by 8
The fraction 44/12 is equivalent1 to 3 2/3.
This fraction is a IMPROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (44) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (12). So, the equivalent fraction is a MIXED NUMBER which is made up of a whole number (3) and proper fraction (2/3).
The fraction 44/12 is equal to 44÷12 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 3.666667.
Notice that a can is a cylinder, which is basically two circles and one rectangle. Now, the question wants area of this rectangle.
You know the width of the rectangle (or the paper), which is 11cm. How do you find the length then?
Notice that the length of the rectangle is also the circumference of the circles. From here, use C = πd where C is circumference and d is diameter. The d is given, which is 7.5 cm. Depending on the question, π can be 3.14, 22/7 or the actual pi.
multiply π and 7.5cm and you get the circumference. Multiply this to 11cm and you get area of the rectangle.
You need to set it up like this: Initial amount ( 1 - Depreciation Rate) ^ Time in years. So: 5000(1-0.18)^4 = 5000(0.82)^4=2260.6088, rounded to the nearest cent is $2260.61.
