How many yards of dirt will it take to fill an area 120x92x24?

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.


How many cubic feet in 7 yards of dirt?

A yard is 3x3x3 = 27 cubic feet, so 7 yards is 7x27=189 cubic feet


John digs a hole that is 2 yards wide 3 yards long and 1 yard deep How many cubic feet of dirt are in it?

The volume of the hole is 2 yards * 3 yards * 1 yard = 6 cubic yards. To convert this to cubic feet, we multiply by 27 (since 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet). Therefore, the volume of the hole in cubic feet is 6 cubic yards * 27 cubic feet = 162 cubic feet of dirt.


How large of an area is 75 cubic yards?

Based on the category I am assuming we are takling dirt or mulch. 75 yds x 27 cuft (there is 27 cuft per 1 cuyd) = 2,025 cubic feet of material - 1 foot thick would be 2,025 sqft. - 6 inches thick would be 4,050 sqft. - 3 inches thick would be 8,100 sqft.


How many yards of fill dirt in area 25x40x4 inches thick?

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.

How much dirt is 60 yards of dirt?

When a person speaks of a 'yard' of dirt, sand, cement or similar material, they actually mean a 'cubic yard'. A yard is a measurement of length. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume.60 (cubic) yards of dirt is the equivalent of 1,620 cubic feet of dirt.One cubic yard is measured as an amount that is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet high, or 27 cubic feet.60 cubic yards equals 27 cubic feet x 60, which equals 1,620 cubic feet.If you spread 60 cubic yards of dirt one foot thick you'd have an area of 1,620 square feet.If you spread this dirt 6 inches thick you'd have an area of 3,240 square feet.

How many yards of dirt to fill a 4 x 8 x 8 inches deep?

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.

This question cannot be answered. An area is "square", a volume is "cubic". The question asks about the volume of an area... and is meaningless. A square yard contains 9 square feet An area 30 feet by 50 feet contains 1,500 square feet or 166.67 square yards
