A hole is 12 yards long 7 yards wide and 3 yards deep how many cubic yards of dirt will the company need to remove?

First you find the area of the hole by multiplying all three number by each other. Next you convert your total from yards to cubic yards, this means you divide by 9, and now you are done.

(12)(7)(3)=252

252/9=28

28

Hope this helps :-)
