How many feet are in one yard - GPS

none as yards is the larger dimension and is made up of feet

There are 3 feet to a yard. 7 feet would be 2yards and 12 inches.

Since we are trying to calculate the number of cubic yards, let's calculate everything in terms of yards.

Converting inches to yards, we have to divide by 36, since there are 36 inches in a yard.

1 ' = 1/36 yard

Converting square feet to square yards, we divide by 9, since there are 9 square feet in a square yard.

3700 square feet = 411 square yards

Calculating cubic yards, we multiply 411 square yards by 1/36 of a yard.


I get 11.42 cubic yards. So you are safe getting 12 cubic yards.

Good luck,

We need to convert everything to a common unit, so let's convert the 18 inches into 1.5 feet.
Volume is length times width times height.
v= 132 x 2 x 1.5
v= 396 cubic feet
To convert to cubic yards, imagine a yard cube. It is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet for a total of 27 cubic feet.
v1 = 396 cubic feet/27 cubic feet per yard
v1 = 14 2/3 cubic yards

So 15 cubic yards should do it.

Good luck.

First step - convert everything to feet - 5" is 5/12 of a foot

40 x 4 x 5/12 = 66.6 cubic feet.

Since a cubic yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet, there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

66.6 cubic feet / 27 cubic feet/cubic yard = 2.5 cubic yards.

Good luck.

Hi Paula:
A mathematical logic question.
You need to get all of the measurements in the same units.
- A cubic yard is 1 yard x 1 yard x 1 yard
- equals 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft
- equals 27 cubic feet,
so once you have the volume of the pipe in cubic feet, you divide by 27 to get the volume in cubic yards.
- Volume of a cylinder (the pipe) is the cross sectional area X length.
- Area equals Pi x r squared.
- equals 22/7 x 1 x 1
equals 3.14#####
times length (20)
equals 62.857### cubic feet volume
divide by 27 cubic feet
equals 2.328### cubic yards.

- The answer is always the easy part.
- what is important is knowing exactly what the question is, and
- determing what calculations are needed to get the answer.

Wasn't that better than if I'd just said 2 1/3 cubic yards?
Cheers

Imagine or draw a cubic yard. It has a length of 1 yard, a width of 1 yard, and a depth of 1 yard. Now each of these yards can be broken down into 3 feet, since there are 3 feet in a yard. Thus, a cubic yard has a length of 3 feet, a width of 3 feet, and a depth of 3 feet. We have 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.

Next, take 2106 and divide by 27. The answer is 78 cubic yards.

Good luck.

3 feet x3 feet x3 feet = 27 cubic feet in cubic yard

1 bag concrete mix is 2/3 cu feet or .66 cu feet
41 bags cement mix will make 1 cubic yard

What's the question? A yard is three feet, so three yards would be nine feet. Three yards is three times as long as three feet. Three yards is six feet or two yards longer than three feet.
