Question

How many cubic feet are in 3 cubic yards?

Answer 1

For every cubic yard, it equals to 27 cubic feet.

So, could have this fraction $\frac{27 feet^3}{1 yards^3}$
And we want to convert 3 cubic yards into cubic feet.

We can express 3 cubic yards as $\frac{3 yards^3}{1}$

Now multiply the $\frac{3 yards^3}{1}$ fraction by the second fraction or the reciprocal of the second fraction to cancel out the yards^3 units.

$\frac{3 yards^3}{1} * \frac{27 feet^3}{1 yards^2} = \frac{81 feet^3}{1}$

So, 3 cubic yards to equal to 81 cubic feet.
