The thickness of the cement will be #184mm#

The volume of cement that is available is #50.0 m^3#

#Vol = "area of base" xx "height"#

The area of the base can be determined from the dimensions given and the height is the same as the thickness of the cement.
Let's call it #h#.

#15.5xx 17.5 xx h = 50#

#h = 50/(15.5xx17.5#

#h = 0.18433m#

This would be better given in millimetres,

The thickness of the cement will be #184mm#
