Subject: cubic yards i have a box 44inch high 16foot long on top and 8 foot long on the bottom 5foot wide how do i find the cubic yards thank you |
Robert,
First you need to convert all the measurements to yards. There are 3 feet in a yard and 36 inches in a yard so
44 inches = 44/36 yards
16 feet = 16/3 yards and
8 feet = 8/3 yards.
Thus the volume of your box is
(44/36)
(16/3)
