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.

What is Cubic feet of 6 yards?

The question can not be answered. You would have to specify 6 cubic yards. How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard? Multiply that by the number of cubic yards. You must know how many cubic feet are in a cubic yard, right?


How do you convert square feet into cubic yards?

This conversion would be impossible. As a general rule, converting from like terms to like terms is the only way one unit of measurement can be converted into another form. In the example from the question: Convert 1 yd3 to 1 ft2 Three separate measurements (length, width and height) are to be converted into two separate measurements (length and width, or length and height, or width and height) In each case, there would be a measurement left out from the original unit of measurement (length, width or height, depending on which two were converted). If, however, the question were proposed "How to convert square yards to square feet" or "How to convert cubic yards to cubic feet", then both units of measurement would be the same (i.e. length and width, or length width and height) Because of the ambiguity of the question, the conversion factors for square yards to square feet and cubic yards to cubic feet will be given: Square yards to square feet conversion: 1 yd2 = 9 ft2 Square feet to square yards conversion: 1 ft2 = .111 yd2 Cubic yards to cubic feet conversion: 1 yd3 = 27 ft3 Cubic feet to cubic yards conversion: 1 ft3 = .037037 yd3

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).
