To calculate the volume of the area, multiply the length, width, and height: 120 x 92 x 24 = 331,776 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard = 46,656 cubic inches), divide 331,776 by 46,656 to get approximately 7.1 cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the area.
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.
11 cubic yards of planting mix converted to how many tons?
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.
36,000 pounds, aprox 20 cubic yds. 20 cubic yards spread out at 2 inches will cover 3200 square feet. hope that helps.
You can't just convert between square feet and yards.
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.
133.33 cubic yards, that's 400 feet
You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.
The area that 20 tons of dirt would fill depends on the depth of the dirt layer. On average, one ton of dirt occupies about 0.5 cubic yards. Therefore, 20 tons would be approximately 10 cubic yards. If you spread this over an area, for example, a depth of 1 foot, it would cover about 80 square feet. However, this can vary significantly based on the type and density of the dirt.
About 3 yards with a little left over. 2.78 yards.
the way we measure dirt quantities is we do a topo with TOPCOM equipment. But, if that is not available you can always measure to get an area and then multiply by the height and then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. That is how ge use to get dirt quantities. There are also online tools available for consumers and contractors that provide a quick, easy, and accurate calculation to determine exactly how much dirt/material you need, or need to get rid of.
None because it's a hole but 6 cubic yards of dirt will fill it up.
Sorry the first answer was in square yds. Cubic yards would be 0.308639
You also need to specify the average depth.(And by "yards" we assume you mean cubic yards).
Fill dirt is dirt that someone has removed from one area and needs to dump somewhere else. Often this is dirt that has been removed so that a swimming pool can be installed or excess dirt from clearing land for construction. There is clean fill dirt, which does not have trash, plant material, rocks or chemical additions and this is preferred for reuse in yards for planting.
I think 17 or maybe 38
It depends on whether the dimensions given are in feet or yards or metres or some other unit.
