1 ft = 1/3 yd
→ 1 cu ft = 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft = 1/3 yd × 1/3 yd × 1/3 yd = 1/23 cu yd
So work out the volume of your hole by multiplying the dimensions together (ft × ft × ft) and divide the result by 27 to get the volume in cu yards, ie:
volume in cubic yards = (ft × ft × ft) ÷ 27

A hole that is 2 yards wide3 yards long and 1 yard deep How many cubic feet of dirt are in it?
None because it's a hole but 6 cubic yards of dirt will fill it up.
How many yards of dirt do you need to fill 289 square feet?
You also need to specify the average depth.(And by "yards" we assume you mean cubic yards).
How many yards dirt needed for 8 ft x 4 ft x 1 ft?
A yard of dirt is 3ft x 3ft x 3ft, or 27 cubic ft. The hole you need to fill is 8ft x 4ft x 1ft, or 32 cubic ft. You'll need 32/27th yards of dirt, or about 1.19 yards of dirt. Call it a yard and a half if you want to account for settling.
How many yards of dirt would it take to fill an area of 747 square feet?
You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.
How many yard of dirt do you need to fill a garden that is 4 foot wide and 16 foot long and 12 inches deep?
