Please walk through it with me

Concrete can be purchased by the cubic yard. How much will it cost to pour a slab 17 feet by 17 feet by 4 inches for a patio if the concrete costs $52.00 per cubic yard?

Answer 1

If it is in cubic yard, we are dealing with a cube

Volume of Cube = (Base)(Height)(Width)

Answer 2

They give us all the dimensions for this

Volume of Cube = (17)(17)(4)

What is that?

Answer 3

Alright

Answer 4

Answer 5

Did you get 1156?

Answer 6

1156

Answer 7

Okay perfect. So now you know that there are 1156 cubic yards.

The second part of the question tells us that each cubic yard is $52

1 cubic yard = $52
1156 cubic yards = $?

You have to multiply 52 by 1156 to get your answer.

Oh ha ha I see the problem.
The dimensions were given in feet, not yards. You have to convert it.

1 yard = 3 feet
17 feet = 5.666 yards
