James buys sand to fill a sandbox that is shaped like a rectangular prism. the sandbox has a square base with a side length of 0.5 yards and a height of 0.4 yards. the store sells sand for $34 per cubic yard. how much does james spend on sand?

To answer this question you will need to find the total volume of the sandbox. You would do this by multiplying the 0.5 yards x 0.5 yards x 0.4 yards. This would be the length times the width times the height. The answer is 0.1 yd.³. You would then take this part of a cubic yard multiplied by $34.your answer would be $3.40.

Volume = the base times the height. i’m not going your work for you, but this is all you need to know.

Iwould think that the correct answer is 8.1
