While preparing the material-order review for the industrial mezzanine landing, the clearing debris produces 87 CY of vegetation volume, with 20% swell or handling allowance. Each container holds 40 CY. How many dumpsters are required?
Correct Answer
B) 3 dumpsters
Container count equals adjusted debris volume divided by container capacity, rounded up.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Container count equals adjusted debris volume divided by container capacity, rounded up.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 2 dumpsters
2 dumpsters is below the supported result for clearing debris; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 4 dumpsters
4 dumpsters is above the supported result for clearing debris; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 5 dumpsters
5 dumpsters is above the supported result for clearing debris; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
Measure to container, adjust for count, then let Superintendent Checks set the finish line.
