Answer 1

A 54ft3

B 5yd3

C 11,943,936in3

D 162ft3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`a.\ 54ft^3\\b.\ 5yd^3\\c.\ 11,943,936in^3\\d.\ 162ft^3`

Explanation:

a. Remember that:

`1yd^3=27ft^3`

Then, 2 cubic yards to cubic feet is:

`(2yd^3)((27ft^3)/(1yd^3))=54ft^3`

b. 135 cubic feet to cubic yards is:

`(135ft^3)((1yd^3)/(27ft^3))=5yd^3`

c. Remember that:

`1ft^3=1,728in^3`

Then, 6,912 cubic feet to cubic inches:

`(6,912ft^3)((1,728in^3)/(1ft^3))=11,943,936in^3`

d. 279,936 cubic inches to cubic feet is:

`(279,936in^3)((ft^3)/(1,728in^3))=162ft^3`
