Question

An air conditioning system can circulate 280 cubic feet of air per minute. How many cubic yards of air can it circulate per​ minute

Answer 1

10.37 cubic yards to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard, so it follows that there are 3^3 ( = 27) cubic feet in a cubic yard.

Therefore 280 cubic feet = 280/27 = 10.37 cubic yards (answer).

Answer 2

A.C. can circulate air 10.36 cubic yards per minute.

Explanation:

An air conditioning system can circulate 280 cubic feet of air.Now we have to calculate the cubic yards of air it can circulate per minute.

As we know 0.037 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard

Therefore 1 cubic feet = 1×(.037) cubic yard

∴ 280 cubic feet = (280)×0.037 ÷1 cubic yard

= 10.36 cubic yard

So A.C. can circulate 10.36 cubic yard of air.
