PLEASE HELP !!!

A rectangular flowerbed measures 3 meters by 5 meters. The bed must be dug out and filled with topsoil to a depth of 0.5 meters.

a) Calculate the volume of the topsoil needed to fill the flowerbed.

b) If topsoil is delivered for $78.50/meter, calculate the cost of the topsoil needed.

Answer 1

a) 7.5 meters b) 588.75

Explanation:

To calculate the volume you need to multiply the 3 values together so

3x5x0.5 = 7.5

That is the volume

Then you got to multiply that by 78.50 to get the answer for b

78.50x7.5 =588.75

Answer 2

A) The Volume is 7.5

B) The cost would be 588.75
