You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bob wants to have concrete driveway in fron of his house. The driveway will measure 58 2/3 feet long and 18 1/2 feet wide; and will be 3/4 foot thick. How many cubic yards of cement will be needed for the driveway? Round your answer to the nearest cubic yard.
---------------
58 2/3 ft = 704 inches
18 1/2 ft = 222 inches
3/4 foot = 9 inches
V = 704*222*9 cubic inches
V = 1406592 in^3
V = 1406592/1728 ft^3
V = 814 cubic ft
V = 814/27 cubic yr
V = ~ 30 cubic yards
-------------------
Suppose the problem was in metric units.
1.788 meters
5.63 meters
0.2286 meters
V = 17.88*5.63*0.2286 cubic meters
V = 23 m^3
Much simpler.
