Question

One ring in the Stonehenge monument was originally made of 30 stones, each about 6 1/2 feet wide, 3 feet thick, and 13 feet tall. What is the approximate volume of the 17 stones that
remain today?

Answer 1

Answer: V ≈ 4309.5 ft³

Step-by-step explanation: To get the answer to this word problem all we have to do is multiply height * thickness * width.

First, let's turn 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ into a decimal...

1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

6 $\frac{1}{2}$ = 6.5

6.5 * 3 * 13 = 253.5

Now, we have to multiply it by the remaining amount of stones...

253.5 * 17 = 4309.5

V ≈ 4309.5

I hope this helps!
