CONCRETE/PAVING
Volume of Concrete for a Driveway
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?
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
1. Multiply the length times the width to find the area:
o o 0.
3 6 f 3 i 36 FEET 3 INCH
x 1 1 f 6 i 11 FEET 6 INCH
= 416.875 SQ FEET
2. Multiply times the depth to find the volume:
x 4 i = 5.146605 CU YD *
3. Multiply times the per unit cost to find the total cost of concrete:
x 5 5 Ç 0 (Cost) $283.06
*Note: 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 89.)
