GPT 3.5
To calculate the carrying capacity in cubic yards of a boxcar, you need to multiply its dimensions together.
55 ft × 12 ft × 18 ft = 11,880 cubic feet
Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide 11,880 by 27:
11,880 cubic feet ÷ 27 cubic feet per yard = 440 cubic yards
Therefore, the carrying capacity of the boxcar is approximately 440 cubic yards.
