During the field-takeoff reconciliation at the visitor-center exhibit wall, the self-leveling underlayment requires 33.0 CY of skim-coat volume. If each bag yields 0.50 CY, how many bags are needed?

Correct Answer

B) 66 bags

Bag count equals required volume divided by bag yield, rounded up.

Answer Options
A
16 bags
B
66 bags
C
68 bags
D
67 bags

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Bag count equals required volume divided by bag yield, rounded up.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 16 bags

16 bags is below the supported result for self-leveling underlayment; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 68 bags

68 bags is above the supported result for self-leveling underlayment; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option D: 67 bags

67 bags is above the supported result for self-leveling underlayment; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique
