I inadvertently asked how many \"square yards\" of gravel it would take instead of asking how many \"CUBIC yards\" it would take!! I am spreading gravel 3 inches deep, 12 feet wide and 900 feet long. I MAY decide to spread it 4 inches deep instead. I need to know how many CUBIC yards of material would be required in either scenario. What formula would I employ? </SPAN>\n" );
