You need to cover the playground of a child development center with mulch. The playground is 125 feet long and 60 feet wide. You want the mulch to be at least 6 inches deep. How many cubic yards of mu?
To calculate the volume of mulch needed, first convert the dimensions into cubic feet. The area of the playground is 125 feet × 60 feet = 7,500 square feet. With a depth of 6 inches (0.5 feet), the volume is 7,500 square feet × 0.5 feet = 3,750 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide 3,750 by 27 to get approximately 138.89 cubic yards of mulch needed. Thus, you will need about 139 cubic yards of mulch.
What is the formula for converting square yards to cubic yards?
multiply the number of square yards - which is an area - by the average height in yards to get the volume in cubic yards
How many yards of mulch is needed to cover a play area 60' x 35'?
That's 13 cubic yards of mulch for every 2 inches deep.
How much does 5 yards of mulch cover?
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 1,620/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
After finding th square feet of an area what number would you use to convert the measurment to cubic yards?
A measurement in square feet is a measurement of area, while a measurement in cubic yards is a measurement of volume. The two units are, therefore, incompatible.You can, however, convert between square feet and square yards, or cubic feet and cubic yards.
Would you use cubic meter or square yards to find the area of a football field?
Square yards. Cubic measure is for volume
How do you determine the cubic yards in a pile of mulch when the pile measures 12 feet by 12 feet at its base?
To find the cubic yards in a pile of mulch with a base measuring 12 feet by 12 feet, you need to calculate the volume by multiplying the base area by the height of the pile. If the height of the pile is 3 feet, then the volume would be 12 feet x 12 feet x 3 feet, which equals 432 cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27 (since 27 cubic feet equals 1 cubic yard). So, in this case, the pile of mulch measures approximately 16 cubic yards.
What is 1.777777778 sqaureyards in cubic feet?
Square yards can't be converted to cubic feet. Square yards measure area, while cubic feet measure volume.
How do you convert cubic yards of gravel to square yards of gravel?
You cannot directly convert cubic yards to square yards because they measure different things: volume vs. area. Cubic yards measure volume, while square yards measure area. To find how many square yards cover the same area as a cubic yard of gravel, you would need to know the thickness or depth of the gravel layer.
How many cubic yards are in 27 square yards?
That makes no sense. -Square yards is AREA. -Cubic yards is VOLUME . They are totally different. (However, 3 yards cubed, i.e. 3 yards x 3 yards x 3 yards = 27 CUBIC yards)
How many cubic meters are in 40 square yards?
This is not a valid conversion. Cubic meters is a measure of volume while square yards is a measure of area.
What is the best unit for measuring how much mulch you need for a garden?
A ruler or tape measure is the best unit to make the measurement with. Once you finish the measurement, you'll probably want it expressed in terms of cubic feet, to take to the garden shop and buy the bags of mulch.
