Answer:

Weight of 15 bags in Kg: 299.4 Kg

Volume of 15 bags in cubic yards: 1.11 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of 15 bags is calculated as follows:

Let's convert 44 pounds to Kg.

1 pound-------0,453592 Kg

44pounds------x

To find the weight of 15 bags we have to multiply the weight of one bag by 15:

Weight of 15 bags=19.95*15=299.4 Kg

Volume of 15 bags is calculated as follows:

First we need to convert one bag volume that is given in cubit feet to cubic yards:

1 cubic feet---------------0.03704 cubic yard

2 cubic feet----------------x

To find the volume of 15 bags we have to multiply the volume of one bag by 15:

Volume of 15 bags=0.07407cubic yard*15= 1.11 cubic yards
