Eduardo has 27 cubic feet of wood chips to use for a new path in a garden. The chips must be 6 inches deep, and the path is 3 feet wide. How long can a path be?

Respuesta :

Let
D-------> the deep of the chips
W------> the wide of the chips
L-------> the long of the chips

we know that
[volume of wood chips]=D*W*L-------> L=[volume of wood chips]/(D*W)
so
L=[volume of wood chips]/(D*W)----->L= 27/(6*3)-----> L=1.5 ft

the answer is
1.5 ft
