Complete Question
Consider greenhouse A with floor dimensions w = 16 feet , l = 18 feet.
A concrete slab 4 inches deep will be poured for the floor of greenhouse A. How many cubic feet of concrete are needed for the floor?
Answer:
96 cubic feet
Explanation:
The volume of the floor of the green house = Length × Width × Height
We convert the dimensions in feet to inches
1 foot = 12 inches
For width
1 foot = 12 inches
16 feet = x
Cross Multiply
x = 16 × 12 inches
x = 192 inches
For length
1 foot = 12 inches
18 feet = x
Cross Multiply
x = 18 × 12 inches
x = 216 inches
The height or depth = 4 inches deep
Hence,
Volume = 192 inches × 216 inches × 4 inches
= 165888 cubic inches
From cubic inches to cubic feet
1 cubic inches = 0.000578704 cubic foot
165888 cubic inches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 16588 × 0.000578704 cubic foot
x = 96 cubic feet
Therefore, 96 cubic feet of concrete is needed for the floor
