How do you convert 10 feet by 10 feet by 4 inches deep into cubic yards?

Answer 1

10 X 10 x 4 divided by 3

I am sorry but 10 x 10 x 4 divided by 3 is not correct, the sum comes out to 133.3 cubic yards.

First you need to reconfigure your numbers so that they are all of the same unit: 10 feet is equal to 120 inches or 4 inches is equal to 0.33 feet.

120 inches x 120 inches x 4 inches = 57,600 cubic inches

( OR 10 feet x 10 feet x .33 feet = 33 cubic feet)

1 cubic foot = (12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches) 1,728 cu.in.

So divide 57,600 by 1,728 = 33.33 cu.ft.

1 cubic yard = (3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet) 27 cu.ft.

Divide 33.33 cu.ft. by 27 = 1.23 cu.yd.
