Figure about 1/2 cubic foot per 60 lb bag. The basic formula is to use equal amounts of cement, sand, and gravel. There are 27 cubic yards per cubic foot. It depends upon how thick you are planning to pour the concrete. For one foot thick, you would need 9 cubic feet of concrete. For 6" thick, you would need 4 1/2 cubic feet. I'll give you the answers for 1 ft thick and for 6" thick.
For 1 foot thick, you need 9 cubic feet at 1/2 cubic foot per 60 lb bag equals 18-60 lb bags.
That's six 60 lb bags of concrete, plus six 60 lb bags of sand, plus 360 lbs of gravel.
For 6 inches thick, divide each of these by 2 to give 3-60 lb bags of concrete, 3-60 lb bags of sand, plus 180 lbs of gravel.

How many 40kg of cement bags are there in 1 cubic meter of concrete?
4000PSI, 12bags, .5cum3sand 1cu.m3 gravel
How many bag of cement and sand per square meter at 5 inches thick concrete slab?
That depends on the size of your bags! My bags are 25 kg (20 l) 5 inches is 120 mm I would use 2 bags of cement and 4 bags of sand and 6 bags of gravel (well I do not buy my gravel in bags but the equivalent volume). I would mix with as little water as necessary to get a pourable consistency.
How many cubic meter per 1 bag cement 40 kg?
One cubic meter of concrete is equal to 1.308 cubic yards of concrete. If there are 5 1/2 bags of cement in 1 cubic yard of concrete, there would be 7.2 bags in 1 cubic meter of concrete. These are the 94 pound bags of portland cement or roughly 40kg bags so figure 8 bags total. Some will be left over

How heavy is a bag of cement?
From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.

How much cement is needed to build a sidewalk that is 132 inches long 24 inches wideand 3 inches think?
Well, you make a sidewalk from concrete, not just cement. Concrete consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. You will need 5.5 cubic feet of concrete. A standard sidewalk grade of concrete would be 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 3 parts gravel- so the sidewalk needs 0.91 cu ft of cement- about 87 pounds worth- plus sand and gravel. If you want to buy the premixed bags of concrete (like Sacrete), you will need about 17 of the 40 pounds bags. And you did not ask, but 3 inches is kind of skinny- I would go for at least a 4 inch thick sidewalk.
What is the balanced equation for concrete?
Small amounts of concrete can be easily mixed in a wheelbarrow with a spade but larger amounts might require a concrete mixer. Towable concrete mixers, both electrical and mechanical (petrol) can be hired from hire plant depots. Mix in the wheelbarrow or concrete mixer, cement, gravel, sand and water. For general purpose concrete the mix can be 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts gravel. Most cement bags will have mixture recommendations written on the bags. The mixture of cement, sand and water is going to vary depending on the planned use of the surface.
How many bags make one cement ton?
If you are referring to "concrete" it is measured in square yards which is sometimes referred to as a ton. If you mean the premixed "Sac-rete" you buy at the local building supply house 22.22 90lb bags would equal a ton by dry weight while by volume it would take 40.55 bags to equal a square yard. "Cement" in a dry powder form is mixed with other aggregates such as sand and gravel or rock and then water is added to make materials such as mortar, stucco or concrete.
How many bags of pre-mix cement is needed to mix 1 cubic yds?
Cement comes in bags that weigh 94 lbs. The volume of the bag is approximately 1 cubic foot. If you want to mix concrete which is a mixture of a coarse aggregate (gravel) and a fine aggregate (sand) and something to bond the two aggregates together (cement) then firstly you need to know the strength concrete that you require. For 1 cubic yard of 3000psi (pounds per square inch) strength you will need about 6 bags cement 12 cubic feet of sand and 24 cubic feet of gravel. Rule of thumb is the ratio should be 1:2:4 (cement:sand:gravel)
