How many yards of crushed stone does it take to fill 114 inch by 114 inch hole that is 8 inch deep?

Answer 1

The hole is 114 inches (9.5 ft.) by 114 inches (9.5 ft.) by 8 inches (.666 ft.) deep. Therefore the hole is (9.5 x 9.5 x .6666) cubic feet or approx. 60 cubic feet One cubic yard will cover 3ft x 3ft x 3ft = 27 cubic feet

Divide the volume of the hole (60 cubic ft.) by the number of cubic feet in a yard (27) to determine the number of yards needed to fill the hole. 60 / 27 = 2.22 yards Yea about 2 tons.

Answer 2

First of all it is NOT yards, but 'CUBIC Yards'.

Hence 114 x 114 x 8 ins.

Convert to yards. by dividing by '36'

NB 12 inches = 1 foot

3 feet = 1 yard.

Hence 12 x 3 = 36

114 ins = 3.16666.... yds

and 8 ins = 0.22222.... yard

It follows

3.1666.... yds X 3.16666... yds X 0.2222 yds = 2.22839.... cu.yds

To the nearest 0.25 cu.yds it is 2.25 cu.yds.

NB In the Imperial system the units are quoted as 'cu.yds' (cubic yards).' NOT 'yds^3'.
