Answer:
To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:
We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:
1cubic foot..............100 pounds
8 cubic foot.............x pounds
We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:
50 pounds.......1bag
800 pounds.....x bags
To calculate the cost:
1 bag ..................$3.50
16 bags.................$x
To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
