Calculate the quantity of asphalt for a road ?

 Calculate the quantity of asphalt for a road  Given that  - Length of a road (L) = 500m - width  of a road (W) = 4 m - Asphalt Thickness (T) = 15cm  Information  - density of asphalt = 2330kg/m³  - 1 Ton =1000kg                        solution Asphalt is a  mixture of aggregates, binder and filler , used for constructing and maintaining roads, parking areas, railway tracks, ports, airport runways, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and also play- and sport areas. Aggregates used for asphalt mixtures could be crushed rock, sand, gravel or slags. - weight of asphalt = volume x density                                                     of asphalt  - weight of asphalt  = 500m x 0.15m x 4m = 300m³  Weight of asphalt (WA) WA= 300m³ x 2330kg/m³  WA= 6...
