Question

The concrete foundation of a house requires 15 truckloads of concrete. The concrete was

poured at a depth of 0.5 meters and covered an area of 540 square meters.
a. How many cubic meters of concrete were used?
b. If each truckload was the same size, how many cubic meters did each truck carry?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Area * thickness = volume

540 m^2 * .5 m = 270 m^3

15 trucks ===> 270 m^3 / 15 trucks = 18 m^3 per truck
