Volume in Yards is calculated using which expression?

• A. (BxSxHD)/27
• B. (B x S x H)/27
• C. (B x S x H x D)/27
• D. (B x S x H)/9

Answer: (A)

Volume in yards comes from converting cubic feet to cubic yards. If B, S, H, and D are all in feet, the volume of the block in cubic feet is B × S × H × D. To express that same volume in cubic yards, divide by 27 (since 1 yd³ = 27 ft³). So the correct expression is (B × S × H × D) ÷ 27. The other forms either drop a dimension or use an incorrect division factor, which would not give the volume in cubic yards.
