8. How many cubic feet are in 3 cubic yards?
A. 27 cu. ft.
B. 5,184 cu. ft.
C. 9 cu. ft.
D. 81 cu. ft.
I picked D,because there are 27 cubic ft. in 1 yd. So you would take 27 cubic ft multiply by 3, which equals 81 cu. ft. Is that correct?
The conversion is 1 yard = 3 feet.
Thus,
1 yd^3 = 3^3 ft^3 or 27 ft^3
If there are 3 yards,
3 yd^3 = 3 * 27 ft^3 = 81 ft^3
You're correct. :)
Right.
thanks!
Yes, that is correct! To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, you need to know that there are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard.
So, in this case, you have 3 cubic yards. To find the number of cubic feet, you would multiply 3 by 27.
3 x 27 = 81
Therefore, there are 81 cubic feet in 3 cubic yards. So, option D is the correct answer.
