Let's make a couple of assumptions.....One, that you will fill each container to the top rim, or to a height of 3.5 inches. The other assumption is that you will not compact or compress the soil. Using those lets do the calculation. Lining up 900 containers that are each 3.5 inches tall, wide, and deep, or 3.5 inches square would make the area 3.5 inches deep, 3.5 inches tall, and 3,150 inches wide. 3,150 X 3.5 = 11,025 11,025 X 3.5 = 38,587.5 total cubic inches. Now we convert cu. inches to cu. feet by dividing by 144 (number of cu. inches to the cu. foot.) 38,587.5 Divided by 144 = 267.96875 cubic feet or lets round that off to 268 cubic feet of material. Now we convert cubic feet into cubic yards. 268 cu. feet of material divided by 27 or the number of cu. feet in a cu. yard is equal to and very close to 10 cu. yards of Soil. With loss in handling I would think that 10 yards would be very close to the actual amount you would need, to fill 900 of the 3.5 inch containers.

After finding th square feet of an area what number would you use to convert the measurment to cubic yards?
A measurement in square feet is a measurement of area, while a measurement in cubic yards is a measurement of volume. The two units are, therefore, incompatible.You can, however, convert between square feet and square yards, or cubic feet and cubic yards.
How many cubic yards is in 440 square yards 1 foot deep?
1 foot = 1/3 yard(440 x 1/3) = 146 and 2/3 cubic yards
Square feet cubic yard rock?
To convert square feet to cubic yards for rocks or any material, you need to know the depth of the rock layer in feet. Divide the total square footage by 27 (since 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet) and then multiply by the depth in feet to get the cubic yards. This will give you the volume of rock needed in cubic yards based on the square footage and depth.
What does 308 square feet equals in cubic yards?
A square foot is a unit of area. A cubic yard is a unit of volume. The two units are therefore incompatible.
How do you convert cubic yards of gravel to square yards of gravel?
You cannot directly convert cubic yards to square yards because they measure different things: volume vs. area. Cubic yards measure volume, while square yards measure area. To find how many square yards cover the same area as a cubic yard of gravel, you would need to know the thickness or depth of the gravel layer.

For 576 square feet at a depth of 4 inches, you will need 7.11 cubic yards.
What is the formula for converting square yards to cubic yards?
multiply the number of square yards - which is an area - by the average height in yards to get the volume in cubic yards
How many square yards of concrete is needed for an area that is 1600 square feet at four inches deep?
You cannot "fill" a cubic measurement with a square measurement.I think you meant cubic yards.1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.Your concrete slab is 1600 x 4/12 cubic feet = 533.333333... cubic feet.533.333333... cubic feet / 27 = 19.753 cubic yards (rounded to third decimal).
