1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
6 inches = 1/2 foot
Volume of the ditch = (12 x 78 x 1/2) = 468 cubic feet = 17 1/3 cubic yards
Roughly 12 square yards.
Well, you would take the 7000 square feet of dirt and multiply it by the four inches of stone to get the 28000 cubic yards of stone. (28000 yds³)
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.
To calculate the volume in cubic yards, first find the volume in cubic inches: (4 \times 8 \times 8 = 256) cubic inches. Next, convert cubic inches to cubic yards by dividing by 46,656 (since there are 46,656 cubic inches in one cubic yard). Thus, (256 \div 46,656 \approx 0.0055) cubic yards of dirt are needed to fill the area.
The area that 20 tons of dirt would fill depends on the depth of the dirt layer. On average, one ton of dirt occupies about 0.5 cubic yards. Therefore, 20 tons would be approximately 10 cubic yards. If you spread this over an area, for example, a depth of 1 foot, it would cover about 80 square feet. However, this can vary significantly based on the type and density of the dirt.
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.
Sorry the first answer was in square yds. Cubic yards would be 0.308639
To calculate the volume of the area, multiply the length, width, and height: 120 x 92 x 24 = 331,776 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard = 46,656 cubic inches), divide 331,776 by 46,656 to get approximately 7.1 cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the area.
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.

To raise 1 acre by 8 inches, you would need approximately 2,722 cubic yards of dirt. This calculation is based on the formula for volume of a rectangular prism (length x width x height) multiplied by the area of 1 acre in square yards (43,560 square feet).

None. Just build the baseball field where the dirt is already there.
22.2222 cubic yards (the 2s keep on going).
