Question

You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 27 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yard. How many cubic yards will you need to order?

Answer 1

9.5833333333 yd³

9 7/12 yd³

Explanation:

23 * 27 * 5/12 = 258.75 ft³

1 yd³ = 3ft * 3ft * 3ft

1 yd³ = 27 ft³

258.75 ft³ * 1 yd³/27 ft³ = 9.5833333333 yd³

9.5833333333 yd³

9 7/12 yd³
