To find the cost of pouring the slab, we need to calculate the volume of the slab in cubic yards.
First, we need to convert the measurements from feet to yards.
11 feet = 3.67 yards (since 1 yard = 3 feet)
3 inches = 0.25 feet (since 1 foot = 12 inches)
Now, we can calculate the volume of the slab:
Volume = Length x Width x Height = 3.67 yards x 3.67 yards x 0.25 yards = 3.3679 cubic yards
Next, we can calculate the cost:
Cost = Volume x Cost per cubic yard = 3.3679 cubic yards x $63.00 per cubic yard = $211.7687
Rounded to the nearest cent, the cost to pour the slab is $211.77.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$211.75
