You can put this solution on YOUR website! A concrete truck arrives at a job site holding 9.5 cubic yards of concrete.
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?
:
let x = the length (In ft) of the concrete surface constructed from 9.5 cu/yds of concrete
:
convert 9.5 cu/yds to cu/ft
27 * 9.5 = 256.5 cu/ft
:
2 in = 2/12 = 1/6 ft
:
24**x = 256.5
4x = 256.5
x = 256.5/4
x = 64.125 ft which is 64 ft 1.5 inches
