A general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 20 feet by 22 feet and 24 inches thick. If the local home supply store sells concrete for $ 110 per cubic yard, what will be the cost of the concrete for the foundation? Express your answer rounded up to the next whole dollar.

$38427

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area Formula: A=2(wl+hl+hw) where l=length w=width h=height

A=2((20(22))+(22(2))+(20(2)) = 1048ft^2

3 ft = 1yds -> 1048 ft = 349 1/3 yds

349 1/3(110)= 38426.66666

$38427

$2,613,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of unit conversion and a rectangular prism.

When there are multiple units occurring in the same question, then we should convert all the units into one by different conversion factors.

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional figure that has 6 sides that are rectangles.

1 foot = 12 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

V (rectangular prism) = w · l · h

Solve:

24 inches = 24 / 12 = 2 feet

$110 per cubic yard = 110 × 3³ = $2970 per cubic feet

V = w · l · h

V = (20) (22) (2)

V = 880 feet³

880 × 2970 = $2,613,600

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
