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}

Show all your work to receive full credit for this problem. Solve the system of equations using the elimination method. 2a + 3b
Sindrei [870]

Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

The perimeter of a square picture frame is 24 in. Find the lengths of each side of the frame.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula for a square is P = 4*S

P =24

s = ?

24 = 4*S            Divide both sides by 4

24/4 = 4S/4      

S = 6
