Answer 1

To clear her driveway, Maya needs to shovel 593.75 cubic feet of snow. Since her shovel can hold 1.5 cubic feet of snow, she will need to fill her shovel 593.75 / 1.5 = <<593.75/1.5=395.83333>>395.83333 shovels full of snow.

Since shovels can't be filled partially, we need to round this number up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Maya will need to fill 396 shovels full of snow to clear her driveway.
