Question 1092647
.
Could you write/rewrite your condition correctly ?



<U>Comment from student</U>: A new sidewalk will be 6 ft wide, 160 ft long, and filled to a depth of 3 inches (0.25 foot) with concrete. 
How many cubic yards of concrete are&#8203; needed?



<U>My response</U>:  O, I see great progress in your writing. Now I can read and solve it.


<pre>
The sizes of the sidewalk are: 

    the length = 160 ft = {{{160/3}}} yards;
    the width  =   6 ft = {{{6/3}}} = 2 yards;
    the depth  =   3 in = {{{3/36}}} = {{{1/12}}} yard.


Now the volume is {{{(160/3)*2*(1/12)}}} = {{{320/36}}} = 8.889 cubic yards.
