Question

This one has really stumped me, if you could also explain how you got the answer (as well as the answer) that would be amazing! Thank you!

Answer 1

98092718

Explanation:

lets convert cubic yards to cubic meters

1 cubic meter=1.30790290586 cubic yard

there is an estimated amount of about 750,000,000*1.30790290586 cubic yards

750,000,000*1.30790290586= 980927179.395 cubic yards

now each truck can hold 10 cubic yards, so, divide 980927179.395 by 10

980927179.395/10=98092717.9395

round to the greatest whole number (there can't be any sediment left on Mt. Helens)

98092717.9395 to 98092718

we need 98092718 dump trucks to scoop it all up
