Question

You are calculating the volume quantity needed for material that will compact to 95% of its original undisturbed volume. You know that you will need to fill a void with a volume of 1,487 cubic yards. What is the volume of material needed from the borrow pit to equal this amount when fully compacted

Answer 1

Volume = 1565.56 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of material required is shown below:

95% × volume = 1,487 cubic yards

Volume = 1565.56 cubic yards

Basically 95% of volume is equivalent to the 1487 cubic yards

So according to this we determined the volume

Hence, the same should be considered
