Question

I need to find the cubic yards of dirt that are left after the fill

Answer 1

First determine how much dirt is "cut"

V = l*w*h

V = 35 ft * 67 ft * 4 ft

V =9380 ft^3

Now determine how much dirt is used

V = l* w * h

V = 27 ft* 24ft * 6ft

V =3888 ft ^3

Subtract to determine how much is left

9380 - 3888

5492 ft^3

But the question asks for yd^3

5492 ft^3 * 1yd/ 3 ft * 1 yd / 3ft * 1 yd / 3 ft

5492 / 27 yd ^3

203.407407 yd^3

203.4 yd^3
