D. , this is a good way because this way you can easily multiply and then you'll see your answer right in front of you.

If you multiply or divide by a positive number the inequality sign DOES NOT CHANGE!
If you multiply or divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips around and becomes the opposite.
.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.2 m^3 is 10 percent
.1 m^3 is 5 percent
therefore
.7m^3 is 35%
.6m^3 is 10%
.3 m^3 is 5%
so .9m^3 is 15 %
all in .9m^3 +.7m^3 = 1.6 m^3 will be sand
