Question from Mary: The baseball field is 20,000 Square feet, 6 inched deep |
Hi Mary,
I would convert the depth to feet and then multiply the area in square feet by the depth to obtain the volume in cubic feet. There are 3 feet in a yard so there are $3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27$ cubic feet in a cubic yard.
