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 14 ft by 16 ft slab of concrete 4 inches thick. Round any calculations to two decimal places if you need to.
The coolest thing about ordering ready-mix concrete is that a concrete mixer will show up at your house. Most companies require orders by the cubic yard. Our couple’s patio was estimated at 3 cubic yards. How much extra concrete was ordered?
