Determine how much stone I will need and the cost.

     The plot is 6 feet by 20 feet and 3 inches deep.  The cost is $150 per cubic yard of stone.  How much
     stone will I need? (cubic yards)  How much will it cost? ($).  My wife will be mad if I spend more than
     $200 on this.  Will she be mad?

  1. First I converted the measurements to yards. 6ft:2, 20ft:6 2/3: and 3in:3/36. Then I multiplied all three together to get 1 1/9. Lastly, I multiplied 1 1/9 by $150 to get $166.67. Yes, you will have enough money to buy the stones.
