Question

A rectangular box has a volume of 108 cubic feet. How many cubic yards are in the volume of this box?

Answer 1

Since there are 3 feet to a yard, there are $3^3=27$ cubic feet to a cubic yard. Thus, there are $108/27=\boxed{4}$ cubic yards in the volume of the box.

Answer 2

3.996yd³

Explanation:

A rectangular box has a volume of 108 cubic feet. How many cubic yards are in the volume of this box?

Given

Volume of a box = 108ft³

We are to convert the dimension to cubic yards. Using the conversion factor

1 ft³ = 0.0370yd³

108ft³ = x

Cross multiply

1 * x = 108 * 0.0370

x = 3.996

Hence the value in cubic yards is 3.996yd³
