Answer: 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the volume of the driveway (in cubic yds)
[tex]\$ 108.89\div\dfrac{\$98}{yds^3}=\$ 108.89\times\dfrac{yds^3}{\$98}=\boxed{\dfrac{10}{9}yds^3}[/tex]
Step 2: Use the Volume formula (V = length × width × heighth) to find w
(convert each measurement into yds)
[tex]V=l\times w\times h\\\\\dfrac{10}{9}yds^3=12ft\bigg(\dfrac{1yd}{3ft}\bigg)\times w\times 6in\bigg(\dfrac{1ft}{12in}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{1yd}{3ft}\bigg)\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{9}yds^3=4yds\times w\times \dfrac{1}{6}yds\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{9}yds^3=\dfrac{2}{3}yds^2\times w\\\\\\\dfrac{3}{2yds^2}\times \dfrac{10}{9}yds^3=w\\\\\\\dfrac{5}{3}yds=w\\\\\\\dfrac{5}{3}yds\times\dfrac{3ft}{1yd}=w\\\\\\\large\boxed{5 ft=w}[/tex]
