What is a cubic yard?
Twenty-seven cubic feet, or 764.55 litres. Concrete, topsoil and aggregate are all ordered by it in the US, and it is the unit a truck is measured in.
What is a cubic inch?
Exactly 16.387064 millilitres, since the inch is exactly 25.4 mm. American engine displacement was quoted in it until the 1980s — a 350 small block is 5.7 litres.
How many cubic inches are in a cubic yard?
One cubic yard is 46656 cubic inches, exactly. Going the other way, one cubic inch is 2.1433 × 10^-5 cubic yards. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
