... I just forgot. We have a test in a week and I went over some stuff and forgot how to do this...
A deck is 19 m long and 16 m (meters) wide. There is 30 cm of snowfall. How much snow must be removed from the driveway?
Please explain! Thank you. I love you, if you can help!

deck or driveway?
assuming you want to remove all the snow from the deck, find the volume. l x w x h = 19 x 16 x 0.3 = 91.2 meters cubed.

If you're thinking the same as I am, the deck and the driveway are two different things. If the owners have any cars, I would say all the snow must be removed, plus any snow that was shovelled from the deck to the driveway. Even then...How big is the driveway? If you need to get in the house, then at least some snow is removed from the deck.
If this involves some elaborate math calculation, then perhaps I'm just as dumb as you are....Unless you convert each of your measurements into feet. Remember that 30 cm is one foot, or 12 inches. I think there's 3.2 feet per meter but I would double check on that....Maybe you can go from there. ....Cheers!

Since 19 and 16 are in meters, so all ur figures have to be in the same units…so 30 cm has to be converted to meters, which is 0.3 m. So to find the volume, just multiply the 3 units together:
Length x width x height
19 x 16 x 0.3 = 91.2
Now, I’m not sure, but I think the answer is meant to be in volume…please correct me if I’m wrong…so ur final answer would just be:
91 cm^3
Hope this helps! =D

The deck is 19m x 16m = 304 square meters (area)
100cm = 1 meter so you need to remove 30400 cm^2 of snow.

Find the area of the deck - length x width. 19m x 16m = 304 square meters. Multiply this by the amount of snow to find the volume of snow. 304 x 30 = 9120cc of snow.Hope this helps

1.First find the area of the deck
(P.S- try to maintain the sum in metres)
19*16=304 square metres
This much area has snow completely filled upto a height of 0.3 metres(remember- 100cm=1m .Therefore 30cm=0.3m)
Now find the amount of snow to be removed by multiplying the height of the snow accumalated by the area of the deck, i.e.
lb*h===>304*(0.3)
===>304*3*(0.1)
===>192*0.1
===>19.2 cubic metres
Therefore 19.2 cubic metres of snow is to be removed to clear the drive way

You have to find the volume of snow on the deck.
Use the formula for volume = Length x Width x Height.
So...
Length - 19m
Width - 16m
Height - 30cm = 0.3m
19m x 16m x 0.3m = 91.2 metre cube
You need to remove 91.2 metre cube of snow from the driveway

19 times 16, convert meters into cm, times 30. if i understand the question properly, that should be it. that's alot of snow....

answer will be in volume. L x W x H. first all have to be in same unit - meters or cm.
best to be in meters for this one.
meters:
19 x 16 x 0.3 = 91.2 cubic meters
the lesson here is for you to convert the 30cm to meters.

well if i remember right you would get them all in the same measurement then times the 3 together to get your answer. but since you got the measurements for a deck and not the driveway the answer is unknown.
