Question 178184
Use three unit multipliers to convert 4700 cubic feet to cubic yards. 
:
{{{4700(ft)^3 (1/3)(yd/ft)=1566.67(ft^2(yd))(1/3)(yd/ft)=522.22 (ft(yd)^2)(1/3)(yd/ft)= 174.07 (yd)^3}}}
:
the multiplier was the same throughout in this instance. the just want you to see the steps of how it gets from {{{ft^3}}} to {{{yd^3}}} 
:
a short cut would be to know that there is 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard
:
4700/27=174.07
:
but again they want the kids to see the steps. and how the the units interact with each other
