A cubic yard is about 30% less than a cubic meter. And a ton is like 10% less than a metric ton.

Water volumes in reservoirs are measured in acre*feet. By comparison a cubic yard is pretty sensible. And for comparison if you know of any big lakes near you, a million acre feet is about 20% smaller than a cubic kilometer.

You got some special edition yards or something?

A cubic meter is 30% more than a cubic yard, meters are longer than yards.

A tonne (metric) is 1000kg, about 2200 pounds. A ton, often called a short ton, is 2000 pounds. A long ton is 2240 pounds. A long ton is 1.6% more than a metric ton.

Considering the insane mathematical conversions you people have to constantly do, I wonder why the USA isn't full of mathematical geniuses?
Ah right, because scientists use metric.

Yeah I was backwards, but either way if you’re estimating in units of “truck beds”, they’re close enough to be interchangeable.

Nah we just add another dimension to cubes in us customary. So it’s 1yd^4
