55' x 12' x 18' = 11,880 cubic feet = 440 cubic yards
Capacity = 55 ft * 12 ft * 18 ft = 55/3 * 12/3 * 18/3 cubic yards = 55*4*2 = 440 cubic yards.
220 cubic yards how did you come with that answer cause on my multiple choice they give me 18.333, 3960, 440, and 1296 ---------------------------- 220 is incorrect. The CORRECT answer is 440. (55*12*18)/3^3 = 11880/27 = 440 Where 27 is the number of cubic ft. in a cubic yard. 3ft. cubed (3^3), or (3*3*3) = 27.
Cubic capacity is not measured in miles.
15 cubic yards
If it happens to be a hollow rectangular container with those dimensions, then it can accommodate 11,880 cubic feet, or 440 cubic yards, or 8,845.7 gallons of cargo inside.
It is not possible to calculate the capacity in cubic yards when only two of the three relevant measures (length, width and height) are given. Assuming the two given numbers are the length and width, the capacity depends on the stack - which could be microscopically thin, or several miles high!
If you need to find the cubic capacity of a box of this size you simply multiply the three numbers and you would get 1280. This is volume of the box and the units are a cubic measurement. So the box would have a capacity of 1280 cubic feet. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard so you use this number to divide into the cubic feet which gives you 47. 407 (rounded) cubic yards.
At U-Haul, the smallest truck that will hold 40 cubic yards (1,080 cubic feet) is a 24-foot truck. You will also need to check the weight capacity.
Capacity (volume) can be measured in many units, including . . . -- milliliters -- cubic centimeters -- liters -- cubic meters -- cubic kilometers -- fluid ounces -- cubic inches -- cubic feet -- cubic yards -- cubic miles -- pints -- quarts -- cups -- gallons
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet55-ft x 12-ft x 18-ft = 11,880 cubic feet = 11,880/27 = 440 cubic yards
52 cubic yards = 1,404 cubic feet.
Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards.
