Answer 1

Answer:

So, to fill the tray completely , he needs 3 bags of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tray dimensions,

length = 0.8 m

Width = 0.6 m

height = 0.1 m

Volume of one sand bag = 17000 cm^3

Let the volume of the tray is V.

V = length x idth x height

V = 0.8 x 0.6 x 0.1 = 0.048 m^3

Number of sand bags

$n=\frac{0.048}{17000\times 10^{-6}}\\\\n = 2.82$

So, to fill the tray completely , he needs 3 bags of sand.
