You can purchase clay by the cubic foot. Each cubic foot of clay costs $35. How much will it cost to buy a block of clay that is 24 inches by 60 inches by 2 inches?

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the dimensions of the block of clay into feet.

24 inches = 2 feet
60 inches = 5 feet
2 inches = 0.17 feet

Now, calculate the volume of the block of clay:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2 ft x 5 ft x 0.17 ft
Volume = 1.7 cubic feet

Now, calculate the cost:
Cost = 1.7 cubic feet x $35
Cost = $59.50

Therefore, it will cost $59.50 to buy a block of clay that is 24 inches by 60 inches by 2 inches.
