Question 170272: 5. A concrete driveway measures 14 yards by 5 yards. The driveway will be 0.75 yards thick. (a) How many cubic yards of concrete will be needed? (b) How much will it cost if concrete is $4.75 per cubic yard? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ok, you'll need to find the volume of the concrete required for this job.
Recall: where L = length, W = width, and D = depth, so... Cu.yds
If each cubic yard of concrete costs $4.75, the 52.5 cubic yards will cost 52.5 times $4.75 Since we are dealing with dollars, we round up the nearest hundreth to get:
C = $249.38
