Question

How many cubic feet are in 3 cubic yards?

Answer 1

For every cubic yard, it equals to 27 cubic feet.

So, could have this fraction
`(27 feet^3)/(1 yards^3)`
And we want to convert 3 cubic yards into cubic feet.

We can express 3 cubic yards as
`(3 yards^3)/(1)`

Now multiply the
`(3 yards^3)/(1)` fraction by the second fraction or the reciprocal of the second fraction to cancel out the yards^3 units.


`(3 yards^3)/(1) * (27 feet^3)/(1 yards^2) = (81 feet^3)/(1)`

So, 3 cubic yards to equal to 81 cubic feet.
