Question from Tayler, a student:

You have 1,990 cubic yards of concrete to pour.
If the average swimming pool holds 25,000 gallons, how many pools can
Be poured with the 1,990 cubic yards of concrete.

1 cubic yard= 27 cubic feet

Hi Tayler,

The fact you are missing is that there are 231 cubic inches in an American Gallon.

Write back if you need more assistance,
