For the subcontractor quantity check at the animal-care kennel addition, the ready-mix placement includes 96 CY of concrete quantity. Each delivery truck carries 9 CY. How many truckloads are required?
Correct Answer
C) 11 truckloads
Truckloads equal total quantity divided by truck capacity, rounded up.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Truckloads equal total quantity divided by truck capacity, rounded up.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 10 truckloads
10 truckloads is below the supported result for ready-mix placement; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option B: 12 truckloads
12 truckloads is above the supported result for ready-mix placement; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 13 truckloads
13 truckloads is above the supported result for ready-mix placement; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
Ready-mix cue: concrete arrives by whole trucks, so the last partial load still needs a truck.
Reference Hint
