Convert 40 dry quarts (US) to cubic feet

Explanation

Let's convert 40 dry quarts (US) to cubic feet, or dry qt to ft³ as one could put it.

First, we need to calculate the conversion factor using the units respective values. We find 0.03889.

Then we multiply this conversion factor by the number of dry quarts (US). In this case 40.

Therefore, 40 dry quarts (US) is approximately equal to 1.5556 cubic feet.

Formula

1 dry qt≈0.03889 ft³

40 dry qt≈40 × 0.03889 ft³

40 dry qt≈1.5556 ft³
