There are no yards in a cubic yard, because a yard is a linear unit of distance, whereas a cubic yard is a spacial unit of volume. A cubic yard is the volume occupied by a cube that measures one yard -- that's one linear yard -- on each edge. Since a linear yard equals three linear feet, a cubic yard is equal to 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubic feet.

How many cubic yards of concrete is in a hole 3'x3'x3'?
One cubic yard.
How many square feet are there in 3 yards?
9 square feet per yard x 3 =27 or 27 cubic feet per cubic yard
How many yards of sand to fill a hole that is 4 feet wide and 20 feet deep?
If the hole is 4 foot square 4' wide by 4' long by 20' deep, then I assume that you are after cubic yards. Multiply the width by the length by the depth and then divide by 27. This would give you the answer in cubic yards. 11.85 cubic yards.If the hole is round:Volume of a cylinder is Pi *R2 * H In this case: 3.14 X 22 X 20 = 251.2 cubic feet there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (3x3X3=27) 251.2 cubic feet / 27 cubic feet per cubic yard = 9.3 cubic yards
How many cubic yards of concrete are in 245 square feet with a 3 inch depth?
Almost right. 245 x .25 = 61.25 cubic feet. But there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (3ft x 3ft x 3ft = 27cu. ft.) whcih would mean 2.3 cubic yards of concrete.
How many yards of concrete does it take to cover 300 square feet x 6 inches deep?
300 square feet x 1/2 foot = 150 cubic feet1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet150 cubic feet = (150 / 27) = 5 - 5/9 = 5.555cubic yards (rounded, repeating)
