Answer:
The weight of 15 bags is 258.21 kilograms.
The volume of 15 bags is 2.222 cubic yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensionally speaking, a pound equals 0.453 kilograms and a cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. We proceed to calculate the weight and the volume of 15 bags by following conversions:
Weight
[tex]x = 15\,bags \times \frac{38\,lb}{1\,bag}\times \frac{0.453\,kg}{1\,lb}[/tex]
[tex]x = 258.21\,kg[/tex]
The weight of 15 bags is 258.21 kilograms.
Volume
[tex]x = 15\,bags \times \frac{4\,ft^{3}}{1\,bag} \times \frac{1\,yd^{3}}{27\,ft^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2.222\,yd^{3}[/tex]
The volume of 15 bags is 2.222 cubic yards.
