Mr. Warren is building the foundation for his shop with 8 inch concrete block. If the blocks cost $1.54 each and the foundation is x x how much will the blocks cost to build the foundation? Allow for a 6 door 2′ high 20′ long 12′ wide, opening in one of the sides. (Round up to the next whole block.) 20′ (Hint: To determine blocks needed per wall: Height x 3/2 = courses and length of wall x ¾ = blocks per course.) $176.43 $200.97 $215.35 $222.71 Ms. Smith is building a long x wide x high utility barn for her garden equipment. She has 32 pieces of 16 20′ 12′ 8′ siding left over from a former project. How many additional pieces of 16 siding will she need to complete her project if the siding is 8 wide and she allows 1 inch to lap over? Do not allow for windows and doors. (Round calculations to the nearest hundredth and the answer to the nearest whole piece.) 13 18 23 28 What will it cost to paint Ms. building in the previous problem if she applies two coats of paint at a cost of Smith’s $28.00 per gallon? Add 6.75% sales tax to get the total bill for paint. (Assume 1 gallon of paint will cover approximately 400 square feet.) (Round up to the next whole gallon.) $89.67 $91.35 $93.52 $95.48
