A rectangular sandbox will be constructed for the students at an elementary school. The sandbox will be filled to the top of the sandbox with sand. If each bag of sand contains 2.6 cubic feet of sand, how many bags of sand will need to be purchased to completely fill the sandbox.

Sagot :

Answer:

Approximately 19 bags of sand will be required.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement misses the drawing of the sandbox which I have attached here. We can find the dimensions mentioned in the picture.

Length of box = 6.5 feet

Width of box = 5 ft

Height of box = 1.5 ft

Calculating the volume = V = length x width x height = 6.5 x 5 x 1.5 = 48.75 cubic ft

As given in the question, one sand bag has 2.6 cubic ft of sand

No of bags required = 48.75 / 2.6 = 18.75
