Answer: About 8.5 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the garden = 16 ft.

The width of the garden = 34 ft.

The depth of the thick layer of topsoil on the garden = 5 inch

=\dfrac{5}{12}\text{ ft.}               [Since 1 foot = 12 inches]

The volume of a rectangular prism :-

V=l*w*h, where l is length , w is width and h is height.

The number of cubic feet of topsoil required will be

V=16\times34\times\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{680}{3}\text{cubic feet}

Since 1 yard = 3 feet

1\text{ foot}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}

V=\dfrac{680}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=8.3950617284\approx8.50\text{cubic yards}

Calculates the total amount E, in dollars, that she earns for working h hours using the equation E = 10h
GrogVix [38]

So your equation is E=10h.

We know E is equal to 1 so let's plug that is.

1=10h

Now we just solve it.

1=10h    Divide each side by 10

.1=h

Boom!

She has to work .1 hours or 1/10 of an hour to earn 1 dollar.



Hope I helped!

the area of a triangle is 124 square units. what would it's new area be if its base was half as long and its height was three ti
Montano1993 [528]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

 A=bh/2

 Where A is the area of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

 bh/2=124
 bh=124x2
 bh=248

 2. The problem asks for the new area of the triangle <span>if its base was half as long and its height was three times as long. Then, you have:

 Base=b/2
 Height=3h

 3. Therefore, when you substitute this into the formula for calculate the area of a triangle, you obtain:

 A'=bh/2

 (A' is the new area)

 A'=(b/2)(3)/2
 A'=3bh/4

 4. When you substitute bh=248 into </span>A'=3bh/4, you obtain:
<span>
 A'=186 units</span>²
<span>
 The answer is: </span>186 units²
