What is the relationship between a cubic yard and a cubic foot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a cubic yard is farther

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would the volume decrease if it was in feet

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A cubic yard is not a measure of length. You are correct about a yard compared to a foot. A yard is longer than a foot.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I'll show you with a drawing. BTW, how many feet is a yard are there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

No. There are 3 feet is a yard.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The 12 you are thinking of is the number of inches in a foot.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The volume does not change no matter which units you use.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

1 yd = 3 ft |dw:1425571459163:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the volume is in side the cube wich means it will stay the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1425571547750:dw|
