Why is concrete measured in cubic yards?

• Because it is sold by area

• Because it is sold by weight

• Because it is sold by volume

• Because it is sold by length

What is the conversion factor from cubic feet to cubic yards?

• 27 ft³ = 1 yd³

• 1 ft³ = 27 yd³

• 10 ft³ = 1 yd³

• 1 ft³ = 10 yd³

• 3.55 yd³

• 2.55 yd³

• 4.55 yd³

• 1.55 yd³

Why is it important to convert all measurements to the same unit before calculating volume?

• To ensure accuracy in calculations

• To make the pad look bigger

• To reduce the cost

• To use more materials
