daisy wants one third of a sand box with sand. the sand box is 5.2 feet long, 4 feet wide and 1.5 feet high. sand is sold for 1.30per cubi foot. how much will it take daisy to fill one third of a sand box?
Answer provided by our tutors
First we will find the volume of the cubic box:
V = 5.2*4*1.5
V = 31.2 ft^3
Daisy wants (1/3)*31.2 = 10.4 ft^3.
The cost is $1.30 per ft^3 thus for 10.4 ft^3 it will cost 1.30*10.4 = $13.52.
Daisy needs $13.52 to fill one third of a sand box.
