The volume in cubic feet.
If you measured in inches for thickness, convert that to feet before multiplying — a 4 inch slab is 0.333 ft thick, not 4.
Volume
3.704 yd³
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet exactly, since a yard is 3 feet and 3³ = 27. Round up and add a waste allowance — suppliers deliver in whole or half yards, and running short mid-pour is far costlier than the surplus.

Almost every bulk material in North America is priced and delivered by the cubic yard, while dimensions on site get measured in feet and inches, so this conversion sits between the take-off and the order. It is exact — twenty-seven cubic feet to the yard — and the errors that occur are upstream of it. The commonest is entering a slab thickness in inches without converting: four inches is a third of a foot, and treating it as four inflates the volume twelvefold. The second is ordering the converted figure precisely. Bulk suppliers work in whole or half yards, and arriving fractionally short on a concrete pour means either a cold joint or an emergency second load whose delivery charge exceeds the value of the material saved.
