You need to have all the same units, and I would suggest yards. first, convert 4 in to 1/3 ft. Then divide all the dimensions by 3.
28/3 x 12/3 x 1/9 = 112/27 yds^3

28 x 12 x 1/3 (4 inches = 1/3 of a foot) = 112 cubic feet
To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27:
112/27 = 4.148 cubic yards

1)convert everything to inches
28ft= 336in
12ft=144in
new dimensions=336x144x4
=193536 cubic inches
2) conversion factor for cubic inches to cubic yards
1728cubic inches =1cubic foot
27 cubic feet=1cubic yrad
46656 cubic inches=1cubic yard
3)convert your answer thats in cubic inches to yards
193536/46656= 4.15 cubic yards
