Question

Ready-mixed concrete is sold for $92 per cubic yard. Lance wants to pour a new driveway that is 45 yards long, 5 yards wide, and 1/3 yard thick. How much would a new driveway cost?

Answer 1

$6900

Explanation:

Given:

Length = 45 yards

Width = 5 yards

thickness = 1/3 yard

Volume,

= Length x Width x Thickness

= 45 x 5 x (1/3)

= 75 yards³

Costs:

1 cubic yard = $92

75 cubic yards = $92 x 75 = $6900
