2 dozen
2x12=24
7/8 of 24
24 / 8 = 3
3 x 7 = 21
24- 21= 3

She would pay $59.4. You multiply $4.95 by 12
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
The sand makes up a rectangular prism of dimensions 8' by 10' by 0.5'.
The volume of sand is then V = L*W*H, or V = (10')(8')(0.5') = 40 cubic ft.
