a house has a back yard that is 50 feet by 20 feet. the backyard is 3 inches higher than the front causing water to come in the house. how much cubic feet of dirt must be removed to level the backyard
Answer provided by our tutors
1 ft = 12 in
1 in = 1/12 ft
3 in = 3/12 ft
3 in = 0.25 ft
The volume of the dirt is:
V = 50*20*0.25
V = 250 ft^3
250 cubic feet of dirt must be removed.
