1. [10] When building a retaining wall, I had to fill a gap with average width 10.0 in., average depth 2.5 ft. and length 38.5 ft. with gravel. You may find the following conversion factors useful: 1ft. =12in., lyd. = 3ft., 1kg. = 2.21b... a. Compute the necessary volume of gravel in cubic yards and round your answer to the correct number of significant digits.
