Question

You want to put a 4 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 16 ft by 24 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How many cubic yards will you need to order? The store only sells in increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

Answer 1

Answer:

27 cubic feet

Volume means the total space, including the length, width, and depth of the area. This is the formula that our material calculator uses. It then converts the volume from cubic feet to cubic yards (27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard).
