A concrete truck arrives at a job site holding 9.5 cubic yards of concrete.
\n" ); document.write( " If the concrete surface constructed is 24 feet wide and 2 inches tall, how long will the concrete surface be if constructed from the total amount of concrete on the truck?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the length (In ft) of the concrete surface constructed from 9.5 cu/yds of concrete
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "convert 9.5 cu/yds to cu/ft
\n" ); document.write( "27 * 9.5 = 256.5 cu/ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2 in = 2/12 = 1/6 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "24* $\"1%2F6\"$ *x = 256.5
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 256.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 256.5/4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64.125 ft which is 64 ft 1.5 inches
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
