Question

Cyclone cleared leaves from the same number of yards

each day for 5 days. Then on day 6, he cleared the leaves
from 8 more yards. He cleared 133 yards in all.

Answer 1

20.83 yards

Explanation:

Calculate Cubic Yards

Calculate your area

Calculate your volume: Multiply area times the depth to get volume in cubic feet

Calculate your cubic yards: Divide cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards and this is your answer

Where ft2 = square foot, ft3 = cubic foot, yd3 = cubic yard

Total yards = 5[x] + x + 8

Solve

133 = 6x + 8

6x = 125

x = 20.83 yard

Therefore, the Cyclone cleared 20.83 yards on the first day.

Answer 2

Number of yards per day = 20.83 yard (Approx)

Explanation:

Assume;

Number of yards = x per day

Number of yards on 6th day = x + 8

Total yards = 133

Find:

Number of yards per day

Computation:

Total yards = 5[x] + x + 8

133 = 6x + 8

6x = 125

x = 20.83 yard

Number of yards per day = 20.83 yard (Approx)
