Question from Miguel, a student: If I have a cube shaped tank in the ground that holds 5000 gallons and I want to take it out and fill the hole in with dirt, how much dirt will I need in yards? |
Hi Miguel,
I typed 1 gallon in cubic yards into the Google search engine and received 1 US gallon = 0.00495113169 cubic yards.
