Planning & EstimatingPregunta 69 de 100
The formula for calculating cubic yards of bulk material for a rectangular area is which of the following?
a.Length x Width x Depth (all in feet) divided by 27
b.Length x Width x Depth divided by 12
c.Length plus Width plus Depth
d.Length x Width divided by 27
Explicación
Because a cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet (3 x 3 x 3), you compute the volume in cubic feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. All three dimensions must be in feet, so inches of depth are converted first. This formula applies to soil, mulch, gravel, and concrete.
