Convert 2 inch depth to feet which is 1/6 foot.

Now multiply 288 x (1/6) = 48 cubic feet

Each bag is 2 cubic feet, hence number of bags required is 48/2 = 24

How much mulch would you need to cover 880 square feet at 2 inches deep?

Mulch is often sold by weight in bags, but a volume is assigned to the material in bags, too. We'll treat this as a volume problem as we have an area to cover (880 square feet), and a depth of coverage assigned (2 inches). We have to find the volume of that 880 square feet by 2 inch volume. First, we need to convert either the area in square feet to square inches, or the depth in inches to feet. The latter makes more sense (and it's easier), so let's do that.The 2 inches is 2/12ths of a foot, or 1/6th of a foot. We'll go with that. If we have 880 square feet by 1/6th of a foot in depth, we have 880 square feet times 1/6 feet, which is 146 2/3rds cubic feet of mulch, the required amount of mulch to cover the given area to the desired depth.

What is the formula for changing inches to cubic feet?

Well, first you would have to have the measurement in cubic inches. Divide the cubic inches by 1728 and the result is cubic feet. I would recommend looking up how to do conversions if you want to know how to do it yourself.

How many cubic yards of mulch 2 deep will you need for an area 271 square feet?

How much is two yards of bark mulch?

When you say a yard, you are actually saying a cubic yard. If you were to place the much in a 3 foot high by 3 foot wide by 3 foot tall cube, it would exactly fill the cube. How much it covers depends on how deeply you spread it. Since you should spread it at a dept of no less than 4 inches, it should cover about 20 square feet. If you spread it deeper than that, it will of course, cover less area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)


How much mulch will you need for a 400 square foot playground area?

1 yard of mulch at 12 inches deep would cover 25 sq. ft., so for 400 square feet you would need 16 yards. 12 inches is the depth you need to start with because the mulch will settle.

1 bag of mulch covers 2 cubic yards how many bags needed to cover 4 yards?

Well, gee, I think that would be 2 bags. But if you have found a bag that is 2 cubic yards, that is ONE HUGE BAG...Enough to fill the back of a pick-up truck. I think you better look into your phrasing, one cubic yard of mulch will cover 100 square feet, or an area that is 10' x 10'. IMPROVED ANSWER: I think you mean that 1 bag of mulch will cover 2 cubic feet. That's the standard bag sold at Lowes & Home Depot. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3'=27). Therefore 4 cubic yards is equal to 108 cubic feet. You would need 54 bags (108/2=54).
