Question

Ron is a stonemason and is preparing to build a rectangular walk with fieldstone. Before laying the stone, he must have a base of screenings. This base is to be 8 inches in depth. The walk measures 4 feet by 46 feet. How many cubic feet of screening must Ron order so that he can prepare the walk for the stone?

Answer 1

Once again...billrussel42 is correct...it is a basic volume problem.  

Answer 2

again, it's just a volume, why are you having so much trouble?

4 ft x 46 ft x 8/12 ft = 123 ft³
