Answer 2

The dirt is
`(2)/(3)ft` deep

Explanation:

The raised garden bed has width, w=6ft.

The length of the garden bed is;

l=8ft

The height, h is how deep, the dirt is.

The volume of dirt the garden bed contains is 32 cubic feet.

The volume is given by the formula;

`Volume=l* w* h`

We substitute the given values and solve for x.

`32=8* 6* h`

`32=48h`

`h=(32)/(48)`

`h=(2)/(3)ft`

The dirt is
`(2)/(3)ft` deep
