Answer:
100 yards ( 300 feet) and it will cost $1650
Step-by-step explanation:
First you find the volume
so we do 20x10x1.5
The volume is 300 feet
Now its 16.50/yd of soil
a yard has 3 feet so lets do 300/3
300/3 is 100
So now we have to do 16.50 * 100
16.50 * 100 is 1650
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess the price is $16.50/yd³.
there are 12 inches in 1 ft.
there are 3 ft in 1 yd.
1 yd³ = 1 yd × 1 yd × 1 yd = 3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft = 27 ft³
we need soil to fill a volume of
20 ft × 10 ft × 18 in = 20 ft × 10 ft × 1.5 ft = 300 ft³
300 ft³ = 300/27 = 100/9 yd³ = 11.11111111... yd³
we need to buy 11.11111111... yd³ or 100/9 yd³ of soil.
the price for this is
16.5 × 100/9 = 1650/9 = 550/3 = $183.3333333...
but normally, in a store, I cannot buy a fraction of a bag.
so, in order to fill 11.11111111... yd³ we might have to buy 12 yd³.
and the price for that would be
16.5 × 12 = $198.00
