When I visited Iceland, I didn't meet a single non-English-speaker. In fact, all of the natives with whom I spoke had excellent English. This is partly due to the fact that hardly anyone outside of Iceland speaks their language (well, maybe some Norwegians could get by), so they use English as a bridge language. Also, English is probably easy to learn compared to Icelandic's complex inflection and declension rules. â ESultanik Jun 24 '11 at 11:31.
Hi John, Since you want the volume in cubic yards I would first convert all the measurements to yards. There are 3 feet in a yard and hence 3 2 = 9 square feet in a square yard.Thus. 750 square feet is 750 / 9 = 83.33 square yards. There are 36 inches in a yard so. 3 inches is 3 / 36 = 0.0833 yards.i John, Since you want the volume in cubic yards I would first convert all the measurements to yards.

Or measure the cubic feet needed and divide by 27: So measure your area to be covered in feet. Say you have a foundation area to be mulched that is 5 feet by 40 feet. Multiply 5 x 40=200 sq ft. You want it 3 inches deep. Multiply the 200 sq ft by .25 ft (3 inches is 3/12 or 1/4 of a foot) = 50 cubic feet.Divide by 27 to get cubic yards - 50 divided by 27 = 1.85 yards. You need two cubic yards.ultiply 5 x 40=200 sq ft. You want it 3 inches deep. Multiply the 200 sq ft by .25 ft (3 inches is 3/12 or 1/4 of a foot) = 50 cubic feet.
