How many cubic yards of sand will this truck carry? the truck bed measures 10 ft. by 8 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in.

The first step is to find the volume of the truck bed in feet.
Volume = length times width times height
V = 10 • 8 • 3.5
The last measure is 3.5 since 6 inches is half of 1 foot.
10 • 8 = 80
80 • 3.5 = 280
So the truck can carry 280 cubic feet of sand.

Since the question is asking for cubic yards, though.
1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yard
We have to multiply 0.037037 by 280 to find the answer.
280 • 0.037037 = 10.37036
So the truck can carry about 10.37 cubic yards of sand.

10.37 cubic yards
