You are about to begin work on a swimming pool in your yard. The first step is to have a hole dug that is 5 yards long, 4 yards wide, and 8 yards deep. You will use a truck that can carry 15 cubic yards of dirt and charges $ 10 per trip. How much will it cost you to have all the dirt hauled away?

first, find the area of the pool
(8)(4)(5) = 160
160 / 15 = 10.67
round 10.67 to 11
11(10) = 110

it will cost 110 dollars

Answer:

$110

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many cubic yards of dirt will be dug up:

Use the volume formula, V = lwh

Plug in the values:

V = lwh

V = (5)(4)(8)

V = 160

Now, divide this by 15 to find how many trips it will take:

160/15

= 10.67

Round this to the nearest whole number:

10.67

= 11

Multiply this by 10 to find the price:

11(10)

= 110

So, it will cost $110 to have all the dirt hauled away
