9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 160 yd³ must be hauled
  • $520 is the cost

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard, so the volume of the hole is ...

  (45 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (16 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (6 ft)/(3 ft/yd)

  = (15 × 16/3 × 2) yd³ = 160 yd³ . . . volume to be hauled

__

The cost is $13/(4 yd³), so the total cost will be ...

  ($13/(4 yd³)) × 160 yd³ = $520 . . . cost of hauling

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1. L= A/W

2. 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define this problem as a word problem relating to mensuration of flat shapes, a

rectangle

1. Let the length be L and the width be W

Given

Area A= 6m²

W= 1.5m

We know that the area of a rectangular shape is

Area = L x W

The expression for the length is

L= A/W

2. The solution for the length is

6=1.5L

L= 6/1.5= 4m
