Final answer:

To determine the amount of concrete required, convert the thickness from inches to feet (11 inches is approximately 0.917 feet) and multiply by the area to get 11,888.405 cubic feet of concrete.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many cubic feet of concrete are required for a section of paving that is 12,965 square feet at 11 inches thick, we convert the inches into feet and then multiply the area by the thickness.

There are 12 inches in a foot, so 11 inches is equal to 11/12 feet or approximately 0.917 feet. Now, we can calculate the volume of concrete needed:

Volume = Area × Thickness = 12,965 SF × 0.917 feet.

Volume = 11,888.405 cubic feet.

Therefore, you would require 11,888.405 cubic feet of concrete to pour this section of paving.
