Question

If leveling a building site for a new machine storage building required 3400 cubic feet of fill, howmany 14 cubic yard truckloads of dirt were needed

Answer 1

we have

3400 cubic feet

We need to transform the cubic feet into cubic yards in order to know how many truckloads we need

1 cubic feet = 0.037037 cubic yards

3400 cubic feet = 125.9 cubic yards

then we dived the 125.9 between 14 cubic yards in order to obtain the number of truckloads we need

125.9/14=8.99

we round to the nearest whole number

the nearest whole number is 9

we will need 9 truckloads
