6. The largest dam in the world is a straight-crested concrete gravity structure, the Three Gorges Dam is 2,335 m long with a maximum height of 185 m. It incorporates 28.0 million cubic m of concrete and 463,000 metric tons of steel into its design. Theoretically, a structure is to be built using the same amount of concrete used in the Three Gorges Dam. The drum capacity of a concrete mixer is 6.00 ft³. Every 15.0 minutes, 750. mixers pour concrete into the theoretical structure. How many years will it take to finish the construction? Use the given conversion factors in the solution. (1 ft = 12 in) (1 in = 2.54 cm) (1m = 100 cm) (1 year = 365.25 days) 6.
