How many 50 pound bags of sand in a yard


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 311 People


A website says that you’ll need 48 fifty-pound bags of sand to fill a sandbox that measure 8ft by 8ft by 1ft. How many bags would you need for a sandbox 6ft by 4ft by 1ft?

Answered by admin @



Answer:

18 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Both sandboxes have a height of 1 ft. Hence, we consider their areas.

Area of sandbox 1 = 8\times8=64

Area of sandbox 2 = [tex]6\times4=24[tex]

64 square foot = 48 bags

24 square foot = [tex]\frac{48}{64} \times24=18[tex] bags
