Answer 3

i will medal

Answer 4

first find the volume of the cylinder
this = 3.14*r^2*h where r = radius and h = height

Answer 5

ok so what would be V=3.14r^2H

Answer 6

then to find the number of batches of mortar divide this volume by 0.48

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

V = 3.14 * 0.5^2 * 5 ft3

Answer 9

3.925 FT3

Answer 10

right

Answer 11

so wut now

Answer 12

so no. of batches = 3.925 / 0.48

Answer 13

8.177083333
