Question

A sandbox 12ft. By 14 ft. requires that the sand be spread to a depth of 6 in. How many cubic feet of sand are needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for Volume. Volume of a box is:

V = Length (base) x Width (base) x Height (of rectangular prism/square)

Change each measurement to have the same measurement (ft -> in, or vice versa).

Note that 1 ft = 12 in.

6 in = 1/2 ft, because 6/12 = 1/2

Length = 12 ft

Width = 14 ft

Height = 1/2 ft

Solve. Plug in the corresponding number to the corresponding words.

V = 12 x 14 x 1/2

Simplify. Solve.

V = 12 x (14 x 1/2)

V = 12 x (14/2)

V = 12 x 7

V = 84

84 ft² is your answer.
