D.2,700

Random Question 01455?
First solve for the total volume in yards: 30 ft by 30 ft by 30 ft is equivalent to 10 yd by 10 yd by 10 yd = 1000 cubic yds.


Since truck holds 10 cu yds per load, divide total volume: 1000 / 10 = 100 loads or 100 times the truck needs to be loaded.


Answer is letter C; 100
