The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is the engineering and' construction arm of the Philippine government tasked to undertake the design, construction, and maintenance of national roads, bridges, flood control systems, and water resource systems, One of their latest projects under the "Build Build Build" program is the Panguil Bay Bridge (PBB) project that will connect Tubod, Lanao del Norte and Tangub City, Misamis Occidental. PBB is a two-lane 3.7-kilometer extradosed-type bridge. You are working for DPWH and the project head requested you to approximate the number of bags of cement needed for the said project given that 6.5 bags of cement are needed for a 1-meter length of the bridge. You will present your computation to the project head the project head for validation.
GOAL: your task is to approximate the number of bags of cement needed for the panguil bay bridge (PBB) Project.
ROLE: you are an engineer working for DPWH.
AUDIENCE: you need to convince the project head for the validation of the panguil bay bridge (PBB) project.
SITUATION: the challange is that you are requested by the project head to approximate the number of bags of cement needed for a 1-meter length of the bridge and to answer the questions that follow.
PRODUCT/PERFORMANCE AND PURPOSE: you need to present your computation to the project head for validation.
STANDARDS OF SUCCESS: student shows accuracy in computation-correctly converts measurement from one unit to anothwr with proper label, and no calculation errors. work is Well-organized that clearly shows thinking.
COMPUTATION/CALCULATION:
QUESTIONS:
1.Insert your solution Are there exact measurements?
2.How do engineers measure the amount of materials needed for building construction?
3.What do you think will happen if engineers are not able to get close approximate of the amount of material for building construction?

Answer:
1. Molarity: It is the number of moles of solute contained in one liter of solution. It is a commonly used method for measuring the concentrations
2. To calculate the quantities of materials, you need to multiply the total centre line length with breadth and depth of the construction. The centre line length will be reduced by half of breadth of every junction where the main wall is joined with the cross walls, partitions or verandah
3. Perhaps, most importantly, an accurate estimation keeps all parties focused on delivering a project on time and under budget. It holds a developer and construction company accountable for increased costs and overruns.
