Question

2. I am building a patio. Each section of my patio requires 1/3 of a cubic yard of concrete. The concrete truck holds 2 cubic yards of concrete. How many sections can I make with the concrete in the truck? Show your mathematical thinking.

Answer 1

There is 2 cubic yards and each section needs 1/3 so that means each cubic yard has 3 sections so 2x3=6 so that makes 6 sections
