After excavating a lot, workers removed an estimated 7,000 cubic yards of dirt from the area. If this dirt were spread in an even layer over an empty lot with dimensions 30 yards by 64 yards, about how deep, in yards, would the layer of dirt be?

To calculate the depth of dirt spread evenly over a lot, divide the total volume of dirt by the area of the lot. For 7,000 cubic yards of dirt over a lot with an area of 1,920 square yards, the depth would be approximately 3.6458 yards. ;

To find the depth of a dirt layer spread evenly over a lot, divide the total volume of dirt by the area of the lot. The volume of 7,000 cubic yards of dirt over a lot with an area of 1,920 square yards results in a depth of approximately 3.65 yards. Therefore, the layer of dirt would be about 3.65 yards deep.
