I built the garden by laying concrete blocks on the ground in the shape of a rectangle and then filling the "box" with soil. I want you to help me calculate the area and the volume of the
garden.

Each concrete block measures 16" x 8" x 8". Again, the quotation marks " are a common abbreviation for inches. Each block is sixteen inches long, eight inches wide, and eight inches high.

The dimensions of the interior of the garden space are 10-1/2 blocks long and 2-1/2 blocks wide (10.5 blocks x 2.5 blocks for those of you who don't like fractions!).

Question 1: Measured in feet, what are the dimensions of the garden?
Question 2: What is the area of the garden? (Use the correct units!)

The walls of the garden are two blocks high.

Question 3: Measured in feet, how tall are the walls of the garden?

The space within the block walls had to be filled with soil, and I needed to know the volume so that I would know how many bags of soil to bring home.

Question 4: Measured in cubic feet, what is the volume of the garden?

Each bag holds 2 cu. ft. of soil and weighs 40 pounds. (By the way, the unit "pounds" is often abbreviated with the "number sign": #. So, forty pounds would be abbreviated 40#.

Question 5: If I were to completely fill the garden space with soil, how many bags would I need?
Question 6: What would be the weight of all those bags of soil?

Our star pitcher, foster enlight, can throw a pitch so fast that it gets to the catcher’s mitt before it leaves foster’s fingers! if the team wins a game then the probability that foster was pitching is 0.8 but only if foster had at least one day’s rest since his last pitching assignment. if foster does not have a day off and the team still wins, the probability that foster was pitching drops by half of what it was on the previous day. if the team wins three games in succession from the toronto tachyons and foster pitched in game #2, what is the probability that he pitched in one or more of the other games? (assume that foster did not pitch on the day before the first game of this three game series.)
