    0.8325 cubic yards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The dimensions of each footings is given by 2.5 feet by 1.5 feet by 1 foot.

    {Because 2'6" ≡ 2.5' ≡ 2.5 feet, 1'6" ≡ 1.5' ≡ 1.5 feet and 12" ≡ 1' ≡ 1 foot}

    So, volume of each footing = 2.5 * 1.5 * 1 = 3.75 cubic feet.

    Therefore, the total volume of 6 footings is (3.75 * 6) = 22.5 cubic feet.

    Now, we know that 1 cubic foot is equivalent to 0.037 cubic yards.

    So, 22.5 cubic feet is equal to 0.8325 cubic yards.

    Therefore, 0.8325 cubic yards of concrete are needed to pour 6 footings. (Answer)
