Question

25. The concrete slab for a patio requires 4 1/3 cubic yards of concrete. If the truck delivering the concrete has a capacity of 9 cu yards and is full, how many cubic yards will remain in the concrete truck after delivery?

Answer 1

To get the remaining concrete slab , What we need to simply do is subtract 4 1/3 from 9

That is;

Number of cubic yard remaining = 9 - 4 1/3

`=9-(13)/(3)`
`=(27-13)/(3)`
`=(14)/(3)`
`=4\text{ }(2)/(3)\text{ cubic yards}`
