Topic: Volume

Answer:
(a) 55080 m³
(b) 1312 truckloads
(c) 11 days
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) We have a rectangular prism with the dimensions 12 by 85 by 54, so the volume is just the product of these numbers:
V = 12 * 85 * 54 = 55080 m³
(b) The truck can hold 42 m³ of earth, so divide 55080 by 42 to get the number of truckloads required:
55080 / 42 = 1311.4
Since we will still need a truckload to hold that little bit of earth that involves 0.4 of a truck, we round up to 1312 truckloads.
(c) In one day, 4 trucks work for 6 hours and since each truck can remove 42 m³ with 5 loads per hour, we have:
42 * 5 * 6 * 4 = 5040 m³ earth removed a day
Divide 55080 by 5040 to get the number of days:
55080 / 5040 = 10.9 ≈ 11 days
Part A:
The volume can be found by multiplying all the dimensions of the earth being evacuated.
12 * 85 * 54 = 55,080m³
Part B:
Divide the number of capacity that each truck carries of earth.
55,080 / 42 = 1,311.4285
I would assume we round up since that little bit that's left over is another load.
So, 1,311.4285 → 1,312 truckloads
Part C:
4 trucks work non-stop for a 6 hour day, each truck can transport 5 loads per hour, and each truck can carry 42m³ of earth. We can multiply all these numbers and divide by the total earth capacity.
42 * 6 * 5 * 4 = 5,040
55,080 / 5,040 = 10.9285...
Round up.
10.9285... → 11 days
Best of Luck!
