Question

Kevin plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway. The portion is 10 feet long and 3 inches high. The price of concrete is $98 per cubic yard. The total cost of the concrete Kevin needs is $72.59. Which of the following is closest to the width of the portion of the driveway on which Kevin plans to put concrete?

[1 foot = 12 inches; 1 yard = 3 feet]

3 feet

6 feet

8 feet

10 feet

Answer 1

cubic yards= w x 10 x 3

since he pays $72.59, he does have:
\[\frac{ $98 }{ yard^3 } = \frac{ $72.59 }{ x }\]which is the same as
\[\frac{ yard^3}{$98 } = \frac{ x }{ $72.59 }\]and so we get\[\frac{ yard^3 \times $72.59}{$98 } = x yards\]he has used concrete equalling
72.59/98 = 0.74 cubic yards

Answer 2

0.75 cubic yards.

Answer 3

how many feet would it be

Answer 4

0.75 yard^3 = x ft x 10 ft x 3 inch

Answer 5

would the answer be 3 feet

Answer 6

1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches

so:
0.75 yard^3 = x yard x 3.333 yard x ___3 inch___

Answer 7

convert 3 inch t yard plz

Answer 8

3 inch = 3/12 foot
= 0.25 foot

0.25 foot = 0.25/3 yard
0.25 foot = 0.0833 yard

.....

Answer 9

0.75 yard^3 = x yard x 3.333 yard x 0.0833 yard

Answer 10

0.75 yard^3 = x yard x 0.277 yard^2

Answer 11

@pony1234 no, because 3 ft are 1 yard and

0.277 x 1yard == 0.277. we need 0.75

Answer 12

most likely 8 ft

Answer 13

for 8ft:
2.66 x 0.277 = 0.74
very close to 0.75

Answer 14

actually i got 0.74 earlier

so yes it's 8ft....
