The solid shapes are illustrations of volumes, and there are 1/27 cubic yards in 1 cubic foot
How to determine the number of cubic yards in one cubic foot?
The given shapes are cubes.
So, the volume of each cube is:
V = lÂł
Where l represents the length of each cube
For the first cube with side length of 1 yard, the volume is:
V = (1 yd)Âł
Evaluate
V = 1 ydÂł
For the second cube with side length of 3 feet, the volume is:
V = (3 ft)Âł
Evaluate
V = 27 ftÂł
This means that:
1 ydÂł = 27 ftÂł
Let the number of cubic yard in 1 cubic foot be x.
So, we have:
1 ydÂł = 27 ftÂł
x ydÂł = 1 ftÂł
Cross multiply
27 ftÂł * x ydÂł = 1 ydÂł * 1 ftÂł
Cancel the units
27x = 1
Divide both sides by 27
[tex]x = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]
Hence, there are 1/27 cubic yards in 1 cubic foot
