Question

I need loam. I have an area 80 feet by 30 feet and i want it 4 inches thick. How any yards do i need delivered

Answer 1

80 x 30 x 0.3333 / 27 cubic feet to the yard

29.623 - call it 30 yards.

Answer 2

Here 1 yard refers to 1 cubic yard.

(80ft / 3) x (30ft / 3) x (0.333ft / 3) = 26.67yd x 10yd x 0.111yd.

= 29.6yd³. (Say 30yd of Loam).

Answer 3

loam comes in cubic yards, but many (incorrectly) abbreviate this as "yards".

80 feet by 30 feet and i want it 4 inches

working in feet, 80 x 30 x 1/3 = 800 cubic feet.

27 cubic ft in one cubic yd, so

800 / 27 = 29.6 cubic yards
