Asked by Michele
A small city produces 500,000 cubic ft. of garbage per week. If all of this garbage were stacked neatly (in a nice vertical pile) on a 100-yard by 60-yard football field, how high would the pile be (in feet)?

First, let's figure the area of the football field in square feet.
300 * 180 = 54,000 square feet
Since the volume of a cube = length * width * height, we need to divide 500,000 by 54,000 to find the height.
Another way to approach this problem:
300 * 180 * x = 500,000
300 * 180 = 54,000 square feet
Since the volume of a cube = length * width * height, we need to divide 500,000 by 54,000 to find the height.
