Answer:
The thickness of the new dirt cover is 0.144 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimension of garden = 25 feet by 25 feet.
Volume of soil bought = 10 cubic yards
Volume = length x width x height
But,
1 foot = 0.333333 yard
So that,
25 feet = 25 x 0.333333
= 8.33333 yards
The new dimension of the garden = 8.33333 yards by 8.33333 yards.
Let the thickness of the new dirt cover be represented by h.
Thus,
Volume = 8.33333 x 8.33333 x h
10 = 69.44439 x h
h = [tex]\frac{10}{69.44439}[/tex]
= 0.144
h = 0.144 yards
The thickness of the new dirt cover is 0.144 yards.
