In order to meet zoning regulations, the field must have a 6-inch layer of gravel under the topsoil to provide adequate drainage.The gravel supplier charges either $12.50 per cubic yard of gravel or a flat rate of $95 for a full truck carrying 9 cubic yards of gravel.
Question 1: Find the area of the soccer field.
Question 2:Find the volume of gravel necessary to cover the soccer field.
Question 3:How much money should the school budget for gravel to install its new field?

Answer 1

okayy.
Can you do question 1 ? :)

Answer 2

Question 1 is basic area... of a rectangle.
Area of a rectangle = length * width.
We are given that the measurements are 100 yards by 60 yards.
Therefore
Area = 100 * 60 = ?

Question 2 : We are trying to find the volume of the gravel.
The first step is to CONVERT 6 inches INTO yards
6 inches = 0.167 yards.
Now that's done, to find the volume we do :
Volume = length * width * height.
Volume = 100 * 60 * 0.167 = ? cubic yards

Question 3:
Once you have the answer to question 2, we use the info given to us "The gravel supplier charges either $12.50 per cubic yard of gravel or a flat rate of $95 for a full truck carrying 9 cubic yards of gravel."
