The driveway in front of my house is 20 feet wide and 100 feet long. If asphalt is ordered in a whole number of cubic yards, how many cubic yards of asphalt must be observed to pave my driveway with a layer of asphalt three inches thick?
20 feet wide and 100 feet long. If asphalt is ordered in a whole number of cubic yards, how many cubic yards of asphalt must be observed to pave my driveway with a layer of asphalt three inches thick?
\(\displaystyle 20 ft \times \frac{1 yd}{3 ft}\times 100 ft \times \frac{1 yd}{3 ft}\times 3 in \times \frac{1 yd}{36 in}\).
You can cancel and do the arithmetic for your answer in cubic yards.
