Question

A raised garden bed contains 32 cubic feet of dirt the bed is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long. how deep is the dirt?

Answer 1

Answer:

The dirt is $\frac{2}{3}ft$ deep

Step-by-step explanation:

The raised garden bed has width, w=6ft.

The length of the garden bed is;

l=8ft

The height, h is how deep, the dirt is.

The volume of dirt the garden bed contains is 32 cubic feet.

The volume is given by the formula;

$Volume=l\times w\times h$

We substitute the given values and solve for x.

$32=8\times 6\times h$

$32=48h$

$h=\frac{32}{48}$

$h=\frac{2}{3}ft$

The dirt is $\frac{2}{3}ft$ deep
