How many cubic yards of concrete should you order for the job?
Q. U-R preparing to order concrete for some footings at the plant where you work. Each of the cylindrical holes for the footings is 24 inches deep and 7.5 inches in diameter. The concrete company delivers concrete in multiples of one half a cubic yard. How many cubic yards of concrete should you order for the job?

A. 27 cu feet in 1 cu yd. One cubic yard is equal to 27 ft X 1 ft X 1 ft., so 1/2 cu yard is equal to 13.5 ft X 1 ft X 1 ft. Footing is 24 inches deep so now we have 6.75 ft X 1 ft X 2 ft. To calculate area of a circle, formula is a=pi (r X r). r = 3.75 3.14 X 3.75 X 3.75 = 44.156 sq inches. 144 sq inches in a sq foot, so approximately .3 sq ft for area. Each 1/2 yard should do about 20 holes.

How many yards of fabric do I need for 36 15X15 inch squares?
Q. I am making a queen size blanket. There will be a 6X6 inch border around the edge and then thirty-six 15X15 inch squares in the middle. I want to know how many yards it will take for these measurements.
Asked by - Tue Nov 29 15:39:37 2011 - Do It Yourself (DIY) - 1 Answers - Comments
A. A "yard" is equal to 9 square feet of material. So taking your dimensions of 15 X 15 inches per square...that is equal to 1.25 feet X 1.25 feet or 1.56 square feet total per square...multiply 1.56 times 36 squares = 56 square feet. Adding for the 6 X 6 border around the perimeter adds another 1/2 square foot per linear foot = roughly 28 more square feet of border. 56 + 28 = 84 84 / 9 = 9.3 square yards total...go with 10 yards for a measure of extra fabric. If you only need the total for the 15 X 15 squares, then 56 / 9 = 6.2 square yards of material...round up to 7 to allow for extra.

Are stats kept that tell how many yards a quarterback passes without the additional run added to it?
Q. In other words, just air passing yards not the combination of air yards and then the running yards tacked on.
Asked by patricia - Sat Dec 17 16:37:04 2011 - Football (American) - 3 Answers - Comments
A. No, the NFL doesn't keep a stat for that. It kinda makes some QBs look better than others though, because if a WR runs 60 yards after a 3 yard throw, the QB gets credit for a 63 yard completion, which can be unfair when comparing...but that's how it is... But stats don't really mean anything, so who cares.

Why have two of my neighbors scalped their Bermuda grass front yards?
Q. I've got two neighbors across the street from me and they have both now scalped their front yards, of which are planted with bermuda grass. Why would you scalp the yard? Doesn't that just bring on root rot or other damages to the exposed turf? What are the benefits of scalping the grass before winter? We just purchased and moved into this house after living in our other house for 9 years which had St. Augustine and don't know a whole lot about Bermuda.
Asked by TTC # 4 - Mon Oct 8 17:42:22 2007 - Garden & Landscape - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Great question! More than likely your neighbors have scalped their Bermuda lawns because they are planning to "over seed" the turf for the winter. Bermuda grass is a "warm" season grass, meaning that it will go dormant and turn brown when the temperature drops below 60 degrees for any length of time. Your neighbors want to have a green lawn through the winter months until the Bermuda starts to grow again (when temps begin to rise in spring) so they scalp the lawn and over seed with a perennial rye grass seed.This is a "cool" season grass and will stay green through cooler winter temperatures. The rye grass will die off when the Bermuda begins to grow in the spring, thus keeping their yards green all season… [cont.]

How many yards of fabric is needed for a cloak?
Q. For abour 5'2 that goes to ankels- I was thinking that if the yards are at least 36in by 36in then I could 3 yards-excluding the hood! Would that work? The height would go approxminately 54-56 inches high-that's including draping over my shoulder.
Asked by a - Sun Nov 1 00:50:44 2009 - Do It Yourself (DIY) - 2 Answers - Comments
A. Depends on the design of the cloak. If you're making a rectangular cloak (which is easy, but doesn't hang as well as a semicircular or opera cloak), you'll need about 1.5 yard lengths of fabric for the cloak body, both inside and out (fabric and lining), and you'll need to sew together widths that will add up to 1.25 to 1.5 times the greatest circumference of the body. So for 36" wide fabric, you could cover a body at most about 29" in circumference with a single width. Check out the three cloak patterns here:

A. 6'4" equals 76" plus 16" for the fringe. This would be 92". Adding another 18" for comfort and you have a total of 3 yards just for one side. If this will be a double/reversible blanket, you will need two different patterns cut and 3 yards each.

The clue here being the word ARM, it is a yard from the tip of one's nose to finger tip, unless you have longer or shorter than average arms, in which case you just grab a yard stick, sold at most hardware stores. OK so anyway, from wrist to shoulder is an approxiamte 2 feet. So ok, it's all on averages, but even in a house, have you ever saw an exact plum wall? I don't think so.

A. It could vary depending on what league you're putting this female athlete in. However if you're looking from an NFL standpoint 20,000 in 10 years would be more than valid as an NFL legend. Although this could make for a good story, it's a little cheesy and unrealistic. Not to mention many fans reading would be a little angry about their team's legendary receiver being one-upped by a fictional character.

Q. I am writing a book about football, but am still pretty new to football. First year I actually started watching. The book is a fictional book about a female wide receiver and she is supposed to be amazing. At the end of her career she needs to be number one by a lot in receiving yards. How many yards would be amazing for a 10 year career?

A. It could vary depending on what league you're putting this female athlete in. However if you're looking from an NFL standpoint 20,000 in 10 years would be more than valid as an NFL legend.

How can you determine how many yards of yarn you need?
Q. I am crocheting an afghan for a wedding gift for my cousin and I am using a new pattern I found online. The pattern says "ch any multiple of 5 to desired width of afghan." There is no certain width or length on the pattern. I have determined that I need to make the afghan 250 stitches wide by 400 rows long. But I am having trouble trying to determine how many yards of yarn I need to buy. The gauge on the yarn I want to use, says that 12 stitches by 15 rows will be approximately 4". How many yards of yarn will it take to make a square that it 12 stitches by 15 rows, using a J hook? That way I can figure out how many yards of yarn I will need to buy before I start. I want to make sure I buy enough to start with so that all the… [cont.]

A. I am afraid you will have to make a test piece measuring your yarn. Either you can make a 12 stitches by 15 row sample that does measure 4" and weight it, and do your calculations from there or undo the yarn and measure it for length. But 4" is a very small sample for weight, so you might need to make a 10" sample before the scales can help you. You can also try to ask a staff member in a good shop. They can compare it to other patterns. You will need to be able to tell them how many inches as well as how many rows and stitches you are going to use. And if it is a good shop, they will sell you more than you need with the guaranty that they take it back for money when you have some left over.
