Complete Question

Consider greenhouse A with floor dimensions w = 16 feet , l = 18 feet.

A concrete slab 4 inches deep will be poured for the floor of greenhouse A. How many cubic feet of concrete are needed for the floor?

Answer:

96 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the floor of the green house = Length × Width × Height

We convert the dimensions in feet to inches

1 foot = 12 inches

For width

1 foot = 12 inches

16 feet = x

Cross Multiply

x = 16 × 12 inches

x = 192 inches

For length

1 foot = 12 inches

18 feet = x

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 12 inches

x = 216 inches

The height or depth = 4 inches deep

Hence,

Volume = 192 inches × 216 inches × 4 inches

= 165888 cubic inches

From cubic inches to cubic feet

1 cubic inches = 0.000578704 cubic foot

165888 cubic inches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 16588 × 0.000578704 cubic foot

x = 96 cubic feet

Therefore, 96 cubic feet of concrete is needed for the floor
