Question

Rachel is pouring a concrete patio. Her patio will be 6 inches deep, 6 feet long and 8 feet wide. If she rounds up to the nearest hundredth, how many cubic yards of concrete will she need? (Remember, yd3=in3÷46,656 )

Answer 1

Answer:

2.6667yd^3

Step-by-step explanation

Volume of the concrete = Length * width * height

Given

height = 6 inches

To yards;

1 in = 0.0277778yd

6 in = 6 * 0.0277778

6in = 0.1666668 yards

Width = 8 feet

Length = 6ft

LW = 48ft²

To yards;

1 ft = 0.333333yd

48 ft = 48(0.333333)

48 ft^ 2 = 15.999984yd^2

Volume = 15.999984 * 0.1666668

Volume = 2.6667 yd^3

Hence she will need 2.6667yd^3 concrete
