Question

Anthony is laying concrete for a driveway. The driveway is to be 24 feet long by 11 feet wide by 8 inches deep. Answer parts (a) through (c)
(a) Determine the volume of concrete needed in cubic feet.

(b) If 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet, how many cubic yards of concrete are needed?

(c) If the concrete costs $36 per cubic yard, what is the cost of the concrete? Concrete must be purchased in whole cubic yards​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The volume of concrete needed in cubic feet is 2,112. b) The number of cubic yards of concrete needed in cubic yards is about 79. c) The cost of the concrete using cubic yards is $2,844.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula of the volume is l*w*d. 24 * 11 * 8 = 264 * 8 = 2,112.

b) The way to find this is that you take 2,112 and divide it by 27. Since the answer is 78.2 repeating, you round it up to 79 so it will fill up all of the concrete.

c) Since you need 79 cubic yards of concrete, you do 79 multiplied by $36 to get the total cost of $2,844.
