If you are trying to figure out the 40lb bags of dirt they sell at the store... It takes about 50 of those to equal 1 (cubic) yard of dirt. I just had to do the research on it too.
there are 3 feet in a yard so i figure cubic feet and cubic yard would be the same principle. 1 1/2 bags would seem right.
I see a problem. Yes cubic yard is 3' * 3' *3' or 27 cubic feet. but each bag is 0.75 cubic feet now he want 1.5 cubic feet so 2 bags give you 1.5 cubic feet 0.75 per bag. Now if it was 1.5 cubic yards then:
27/0.75 = 36, bags per cubic yard so 36*1.5 =54 bags for 1.5 cubic yards
If a contractor brings a truckload of topsoil to your property, he might call it a 5-yard load, but he really means "5 cubic yards". Top soil, mulch, etc are measured by volume. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (3ft x 3ft x 3ft).
One site I saw said that one yard of topsoil weighs about a ton (2000 lbs).
It really doesn't make sense to multiply cubic feet by cubic feet. ft3 x ft3 gives you ft6, which would really only make sense in a universe that has 6 (or more) dimensions.
To get a volume, you'll have to multiply three lengths, for example, 3 ft x 2 ft x 1.5 ft, or an area by a length, for example, 6 square ft. x 1.5 ft. (this is equivalent to the previous example).
A cubic yard is a 3ft x 3ft x 3ft or 27 cubic feet, times 3 equals 81 cubic feet.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
27/2 = 13.5 bags
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 9 bags of 3 cubic feet per bag.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
1.5 cubic feet = (1.5/27) = 1/18th of a cubic yard
You need 18 of them.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
2 cubic feet = 0.0741 cubic yards (rounded)
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard.
It will cover about 8 sq.feet if you spread it one inch thick.
200.5 cubic feet.
1.85 cubic yards equals 49.95 cubic feet.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
100 gallons = 13.37 cubic feet.
That would depend on the density of the bags of topsoil.

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 54 half-cubic-foot bags
80# bags are 0.6 cubic feet and it takes 41 to make a cubic yard. In that case, 60# bags must be 0.45 cubic feet and it would take 55 to make a cubic yard.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet 4 cubic yards = 108 cubic feet Since each bag contains 2 cubic feet of mulch, the required number of bags is 108/2 which is 54
1 acre = 43,560 square feet6 inches = 1/2 footVolume of topsoil = (43,560 square feet) times (1/2 foot) = 21,780 cubic feet1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet(21,870 cubic feet) / (27 cubic feet per cubic yard) = 806 and 2/3 cubic yards
16/0.75 = 21.33...
16 bags for every 3 inches deep
1.8 Cubic yards of concrete is 48.6 cubic feet. Each 80lb bag of concrete is .6 cubic feet. Therefore, you would need 81 bags. Hope that helps. GEO
Depends how much rock is in ONE bag !
1.5 divided by the volume of your bag in cubic yards. 40.5 divided by the volume of your bag in cubic feet.
You will need about 30 cubic feet. Your bag should also tell you how many cubic feet are in it.
