Question

Cyclone cleared leaves from the same number of yards each day for 5 days. Then on day 6, he cleared the leaves from 8 more yards. He cleared 133 yards in all.

How many yards did Cyclone clear the first day?

Answer 1

20.83 yard

Explanation:

Calculate Cubic Yards

Calculate your area

Calculate your volume: Multiply area times the depth to get volume in cubic feet

Calculate your cubic yards: Divide cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards and this is your answer

Where ft2 = square foot, ft3 = cubic foot, yd3 = cubic yard

Total yards = 5[x] + x + 8

Solve

133 = 6x + 8

6x = 125

x = 20.83 yard

Therefore, the Cyclone cleared 20.83 yards on the first day.
