Answer:

Explanation:

The middle slab is 2 cubic feet.

Explanation:

The problem presents the information: Mr. Alvarez makes a walkway out of 3 cement slabs.

However, he uses 14 Cubic feet of cement to make the walkway. Each square slab has a volume of 4 cubic feet.

Mr. Alvarez makes the way with 3 cement slabs (NC), each cement slab is 4 cubic feet (UC). It means, the cubic feet for the 3 cement slabs (CS) are:

CS = NC* UC = 3*4 = 12 cubic feet.

It means Mr. Alvarez uses 12 cubic feet with 3 cement slabs.

Mr. Alvarez used in total of 14 cubic feet of cement (TC). At this moment he used 12 cubic feet of cement (CS). It means, there will be a part of the cement slab used (PC).

PC = TC - CS = 14 - 12 = 2 Cubic feet.

Finally, the middle slab is 2 cubic feet of cement.
