concrete costs 105 per cubic yard. plato is making a rectangular concrete garage floor measuring 33 feet wide by 6 inches thick. how much will the concrete cost?
To calculate the cost of the concrete, we need to first convert the measurements to the same unit. Let's convert the width from feet to yards and the thickness from inches to yards.
1 yard = 3 feet
1 yard = 36 inches
Width in yards = 33 feet / 3 = 11 yards
Thickness in yards = 6 inches / 36 = 0.167 yards
Now, let's calculate the volume of the concrete required.
Volume = Width x Length x Thickness
Volume = 11 yards x 1 yard x 0.167 yards
Volume = 1.837 cubic yards
Finally, let's calculate the cost of the concrete.
Cost = Volume x Price per cubic yard
Cost = 1.837 cubic yards x $105
Cost = $192.69
Therefore, the cost of the concrete will be approximately $192.69.
To calculate the cost of the concrete for Plato's garage floor, we need to determine the volume of concrete needed and then multiply it by the cost per cubic yard.
First, let's convert the measurements to the same unit. Since the cost of concrete is typically given per cubic yard, we need to convert the measurements to yards.
Width: 33 feet = 33/3 = 11 yards
Thickness: 6 inches = 6/36 = 0.167 yards (since there are 36 inches in a yard)
Next, we calculate the volume of the garage floor by multiplying the width, length, and thickness:
Volume = Width x Length x Thickness
= 11 yards x Length x 0.167 yards
Since the length of the garage floor is not provided, we'll assume it's 1 yard. You can adjust the length accordingly based on your specific needs.
Volume = 11 yards x 1 yard x 0.167 yards
= 1.837 cubic yards (rounded to three decimal places)
Finally, we can calculate the cost of the concrete by multiplying the volume by the cost per cubic yard:
Cost = Volume x Cost per cubic yard
= 1.837 cubic yards x $105 per cubic yard
≈ $192.79
Therefore, the cost of the concrete for Plato's garage floor would be approximately $192.79.
You are missing one of the dimensions of the floor, its length
Once you have that,
Cost = 105 ( 33 * 1/2 * ??)/27 units of money
where ?? in your length
we divide by 27 since there are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard
If the concrete is sold in whole cubic yards, you will have to round your answer upwards to the next whole number
e.g. 34.1 cubic yards ----> 35 cubic yards
