How it’s computed
Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27 (a yard is 3 ft, so a cubic yard is 3³ = 27 cuft), quantized to 0.01.
Decimal-exact and deterministic: identical inputs always return identical results. This is the same math Ask Donnie’s estimating engine runs — not an approximation, and never a language model doing arithmetic.
Common questions
Why 27?
A cubic yard is 3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft = 27 cubic feet. Every yards figure in concrete and earthwork is a divide-by-27.
