Application of mathematics in real life

Outdoor Landscaping
Math is also a great tool that can be used to help with landscaping projects.
There are a variety of scenarios where this is the case, however, I will focus on
one example in this article. Let’s say that you are trying to build a raised planter
box that measures 8 feet long by 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep. You plan on
purchasing a bagged soil mix from the home center. Each bag can fill a volume of
0.33 ft3, weighs 30lbs, and costs $2.50. How much dirt do you need to fill this
planter box and how much is it going to cost? Additionally, you don’t have a truck
and would need to transport the dirt in a back of a Honda Civic. The maximum
payload for a Honda Civic is 850lbs. Considering your own weight (assume 200lbs
for this example) how many bags of soil mix can you carry in the car and how many
trips to the home center will you need to make.

There are several steps needed in order to solve this problem and answer the
questions. First, calculate the volume of the dirt needed to fill the planter box:

Volume = 8ft x 2ft x 1ft = 16ft3

Next, divide that number by the volume of dirt provided in each bag to get the
number of bags needed for the project:

Number of Bags = 16ft3/0.33ft3 = 48 Bags

Note that this calculation does not consider the effects of compaction
(shrinkage) of the soil which would decrease its volume. Many soils could lose as
much as 10-20% of its volume due to settlement, shrinkage, and compaction. The
amount of compaction will depend on the soil type and is beyond the scope of this
article.

Now that you know the number of bags needed, compute the total weight of the
soil needed to fill the planter box:

Weight of Soil Needed = 48 Bags X 30lbs = 1,440lbs

Now we need to figure out how many bags of soil mix you can carry in your car on
each trip. First, calculate the maximum weight of the soil that the car can hold
given the payload capacity and the weight of the driver

Max soil = max payload – weight of driver = 850lbs – 200lbs = 650lbs

Next, divide the total soil weight needed for the project by the maximum payload
that you can carry to get the minimum number of trips:

Number of trips = 1,440lbs/650lbs = 2.21

Since you cannot make 2.21 trips, you need to round up to a total of 3 trips. Since
3 trips are needed anyways, it makes sense to just buy 1/3 of the total number of
bags on each of the trips. Therefore:

48 bags/3 trips = 16 bags per trip

Finally, to figure out the total price of the soil, multiply the number of bags
times the price for each one:

Total Price = 48 Bags X $2.50 per bag = $120
