Find the Cubic Yards of concrete required to pour a driveway with
the following dimensions: 36 Feet 3 Inches long by 11 Feet 6 Inches
wide by 4 Inches deep. If concrete costs $55 per Cubic Yard, what is
the total cost?

3. Multiply times the per Unit Cost to find the total cost of concrete:
x 5 5 Ç 0 (Cost) $283. 06
*This answer will automatically display in Cubic Yards due to the multiplication of
mixed units, unless the preference setting for volume display has been changed from
the default Standard Setting. (See Preference Settings on page 83.)
