How Much Dirt?

[jimLE]

here's something i got in a email

I want to test your mathematical skills

Calculate the amount of dirt in the following size hole in cubic
feet or cubic yards:

6 ft long x 3 ft wide x 18 inches deep

Don't use pencil or paper; calculate it in your head.
This tests raw calculating ability.

There is nothing in a hole.

Although.

27 cubic feet.
V = a × b × c
V= 6ft × 3ft × 1.5ft
V= 18sqft × 1.5ft
V= 27cft.


Thats the Volume of the hole.
