Question

How many bags of concrete are needed to fill the path 1m3 requires 106 x 20kg bags of concrete The pond is 7m diameter and the path around is 2m 50mm deep

Answer 1

300 Bags

Explanation:

According to the Question,

• Given that, We are laying a concrete border around a circular pond. The pond is 7 metres in diameter and is surrounded by a path 2 metres wide.

The radius of the pool = 3.5 m; the overall radius including the border = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5m

• The area of the concrete border

overall area - pool area = border area(A)

A = π×5.5² - π×3.5²

A = 56.55 sq m

• The concrete needs to be 50 millimetres deep.

the volume of the concrete, change 50 mm to .05 m

56.55 * 05 = 2.8275 cu/meters

• We are using premixed bagged concrete.

1 cubic metre requires 106 x 20 kg bags.

• So For the number of bags

106 * 2.8275 = 299.715 ≈ 300bags

• 300 bags of 20 kg of premixed concrete We need
