Mrs. Smith decides to build her own vegetable garden. She goes to Home Depot and buys material to build beds for the vegetables she’ll grow. The beds are big wooden boxes. Each bed is 10 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 1 ½ feet tall. She builds 4 beds for her vegetable garden and fills each bed with dirt. The bags of dirt each contain 1.5 ft3 of dirt. How many bags of soil did Mrs. Smith buy to fill all 4 beds?

Answer:

200 bags needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of one such box and then multiply the result by 4 to obtain the total volume of the dirt needed to fill them:

V = (10 ft)(5 ft)(1.5 ft) = 75 ft^3

There are four such boxes, so the total amount of dirt needed to fill them all is

4(75 ft^3) = 300 ft^3

Dividing this by 1.5 ft^3/bag, we get:

200 bags needed
