Question

After moving into a new house, a couple wants to have a concrete patio poured to support a hot tub, because... well, because it's a hot tub. The plans call for a 18ft by 15ft slab of concrete 8 inches thick.

(a) Convert the volume of concrete to cubic yards. (Hint: A cube that is one yard on each side is also 

3

 feet on each side. You can use that to find a conversion factor from cubic feet to cubic yards.) If necessary, round to two decimal places.

 

Rounding to two decimal places, they will need 
6.67 cubic yard(s) of concrete.
