Question

A contractor is adding 243 CY backfill. If each truck can hold 162 CF, how many truck loads are needed

Answer 1

The number of trucks needed is an illustration of rates

The number of trucks needed is 42

How to determine the number of trucks

The size of the backfill is given as: 243 CY

A truck can load up to 162 CF

So, the number of trucks needed is calculated as:

$n = \frac{243 CY}{162 CF}$

Convert CY to CF

$n = \frac{243 * 27CF}{162 CF}$

Solve

$n = 40.5$

Approximate

$n = 41$

Hence, 41 trucks are needed
