A proposed earth embankment requires 60,000 cubic meters of soil. The soil will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.85. Two borrow pits designated as A and B are available near the site. The void ratio of the soil in each pit and the estimated cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the site are as shown below. Pit Void Ratio Cost ($/m3) A 1.10 5.00 B 1.80 3.70 Which will have the lowest cost to move and be the most economical to use?
