Matt plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway. The portion is 8 feet long and 4 inches high. The price of concrete is $98 per cubic yard. The total cost of the concrete Matt needs is $58.07. Which of the following is closest to the width of the portion of the driveway on which Matt plans to put concrete? [1 foot = 12 inches; 1 yard = 3 feet] (1 point) 0.5 feet 1.5 feet 3 feet 6 feet<---- MY ANSWER!

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes..you're answer is correct.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Convert 4 inches to feet. 4 in. = 1/3 ft. 8 * 1/3 * 6 = 16 cubic feet Convert to cubic yards: 16 cubic feet is approximately 0.5926 Now multiply by the cost per cubic yard. 0.5926 * 98 is approximately 58.07, which is the cost he paid for the concrete.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Oh. 8 * 1/3 * 6 = 16 cubic feet I'm multiplying the length, width, and depth here to find the volume of space he needs the concrete to be filled in.

I converted to yards, ended up with 1.99125 yards, 1.99 yards is pretty much 6ft
