Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
you need a box that's 1.98 billion ft^3
that's a box that's about 1,256 feet by 1,256 feet by 1,256 feet box
1 yd^3 = 12x12x12 = 1728,
that's a box that's 12 yd. by 12 yd by 12 yd
a cube with sides each 12 yards
1980000000/1728 = 1,145,833 1/3 cubic yards= about 1.2 million yd^3
a cube box 52.636 yd by 52.636 yd by 52.636 yd
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 mile^3 = 5280^3
1980000000/5280^3 = about 0.01345 mile^3
