Question

The amount of water a bag of salt can treat is known in cubic feet.

Answer 1

Given:

There is a rectangular prism shape water tank given with 23yd 15yd anf 4yd measurements

Required:

A) We need to find the volume of tank in cubic ft

B) 18.8 cubic ft need 1 salt bag then we need to find to total needed salt bag

C) $4.65 per bag then find total cost

Step-by-step explanation:

first pf all we need to convert given measures in feet from yd

`\begin{gathered} 1yd=3ft \\ 23yd=69ft \\ 15yd=45ft \\ 4yd=12ft \end{gathered}`

A)

Volume

`V=lwh=69*45*15=37260ft^3`

B)

18.8 cubic ft need 1 bag

then

37260 cubic ft need x

`x=(37260)/(18.8)=1981.9\approx1982\text{ bags}`

C)

Cost for 1 bag is $4.65

then

cost for 1982 bags is y

`y=1982*4.65=9216.3`

Final answer:

A) volume of tank in cubic ft is 37260

B) 18.8 cubic ft need 1 salt bag then we need total 1982 needed salt bags

C) $4.65 per bag then total cost is $9216.3
