INFORMATION:

We know that:

- 1.9 cu yd of sand are needed for every 100 sq yd of surface

And we must find how much sand will be needed for 290 sq yd of surface

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To find it, we can write that 1.9 cu yd of sand are needed for every 100 sq yd of surface in the form of a fraction

[tex]\frac{1.9yd^3}{100yd^2}[/tex]

Then, to find how much sand will be needed for 290 sq yd of surface, we must multiply it by the fraction

[tex]290yd^2\times\frac{1.9yd^3}{100yd^2}[/tex]

Finally, simplifying

[tex]5.51yd^3[/tex]

So, 5.51 cu yd of sand will be needed for 290 sq yd of surface.

ANSWER:

5.51 cu yd of sand will be needed for 290 sq yd of surface.
