2) 12in=1ft; 24in=2ft

4+2=8
7+2=9
8*9=72
Answer: 72ft^2

3)v=lwh
l=9
w=8
h=2

v=8*9*2
v=144ft^3

For # of sand bags if sandbox is completely filled:
144/3= 48
For $ used if buy it full:
48*12=576
$576
For # of sand bags if sand box is filled half way:
144/2=72
72=sand half filled
72/3=24
24 bags

For $ of sand half filled:
24*12=288
$288

Find the difference of the prices:
$576-$288= $288
