a construction worker needs to pour a rectangular slab 23 ft long, 24 ft wide, and 8 in thick. how many cubic yards does the construction worker need?

13.63 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked to find the volume of the slab in cubic yards, hence we have to be sure that all the lengths are expressed in yards first. We use the following conversions:

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1 in = 1/36 yard

Length = 23 ft = 23 x (1/3) = 23/3 yards

Width = 24 ft = 24 x (1/3) = 8 yards

thickness = 8 in = 8 x (1/36) = 8/36 = 2/9 yards

hence volume = Length x Width x Thickness

= (23/3) x 8 x (2/9)

= 13.63 cubic yards
