You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.
if its a hole, then i would say there are zero cubic yds of dirt. other wise its 16 * 14 * 9 / 27 = 74.667 cubic yds of dirt you divide by 27 because there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yd
You need 5 1/3 yards of dirt 10 feet wide and 2 inches deep which is approx 0.99 cubic yards
1 yard = 36 inches, so 3 inches thick will be 1/12 yard thick. So the area covered will be 12 square yards.
Based on the category I am assuming we are takling dirt or mulch. 75 yds x 27 cuft (there is 27 cuft per 1 cuyd) = 2,025 cubic feet of material - 1 foot thick would be 2,025 sqft. - 6 inches thick would be 4,050 sqft. - 3 inches thick would be 8,100 sqft.
24 yards = 72 feet. (there are 3 feet in 1 yard).
Don't forget the word "square" before "inches". Otherwise the question is wrong. The area of 1 square inch is 0.0007716049 square yards. The area of 1 square yard is 1296 square inches.
62/3 cubic yards for every 1-foot deep. 5 cubic yards for every 9-inches deep. 31/3 cubic yards for every 6-inches deep. 5/9 cubic yard for every 1-inch deep.
1 yard = 36 inches, so 3 inches thick will be 1/12 yard thick. So the area covered will be 12 square yards.
Roughly 12 square yards.
8.25 cubic yards of concrete
Total coverage area 314.16 sq. feet. depth of 2 inches = 1.94 cu yards answer ... around 2 cu yards
4800 x .33 / 27 = 58.66 yards
16 * 20 = 320 sq ft. at 4" thick concrete will cover 80 sq ft. 320 / 80 = 4 yards.
Apples and oranges. Without knowing how thick the 450 sq. ft. area is or how thick you want it to be you can't convert to cubic yards. A cubic yard has 27 cubic feet. One square foot 3 inches thick would be 1/4 cubic feet. 4 sq. ft. 3 inches thick would be 1 cubic foot. 450 sq. ft. 3 inches thick is 112 1/2 cubic feet or just a bit over 4 cubic yards. 450 sq. ft. 4 inches thick is 150 cubic feet or 5 1/2 cubic yards.
There is no answer to this as inches (length) are different units to square yards (area)
.21 yards of sand will fill an area 115 inches by 67 inches to a depth of 2.5 inches.
Just a shade less than 1 cubic yard ... it happens to be 0.987654321 (rounded). How did you do that ? ! ?If the area were 81 square feet, by 4 inches thick, that would be exactly 1 cubic yard.
The area of a rectangle 12 inches by 12 yards is 5184 square inches, since 12 inches * 12 yards * 36 inches/yard = 5184 square inches.
For this area you will need 2.4 cubic yards.
