Cubic yards per hour to Cubic feet per hour conversion

How to convert cubic yards per hour to cubic feet per hour?

To convert cubic yards per hour to cubic feet per hour, you need to understand the basic relationship between cubic yards and cubic feet. One cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet because a yard is 3 feet, and when you cube 3 feet (3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet), you get 27 cubic feet.

So, to convert from cubic yards per hour to cubic feet per hour, you multiply the number of cubic yards by 27.

For instance, if you have 1 cubic yard per hour and you want to convert it to cubic feet per hour:

$1 \text{ cubic yard per hour} \times 27 \text{ cubic feet per cubic yard} = 27 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

Real-World Examples:

1. Small Construction Project: Suppose you are using a concrete mixer that dispenses 5 cubic yards of concrete per hour. To find out how much this is in cubic feet per hour: $5 \text{ cubic yards per hour} \times 27 = 135 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

2. Landscaping: If you're spreading mulch and you can process 0.5 cubic yards per hour: $0.5 \text{ cubic yards per hour} \times 27 = 13.5 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

3. Excavation: A small excavator might remove 3 cubic yards of earth per hour: $3 \text{ cubic yards per hour} \times 27 = 81 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

4. Flood Control Efforts: If a pump can move water at a rate of 2 cubic yards per hour, it would be: $2 \text{ cubic yards per hour} \times 27 = 54 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

By converting these rates to cubic feet per hour, you get a better grasp of the volume being dealt with, especially if the equipment or instructions are set to work in cubic feet rather than cubic yards.
