It depends on grain size, which can be as small as 0.004 inch or as big as 0.1 inch. If we take an average grain size of 0.02 inch diameter that is 0.00000043 cubic inch volume and a cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches then (not considering packing voids) that is 1728/.000000 = 4 billion grains!

That can vary a lot, depending on whether you have fine sand or course sand.

How many yards of sand do you need to fill a sand box 8 ft long by 8 ft wide by 12 inches deep?

8ft Wide by 8ft Long by 1ft Deep is 64sq/ft. A yard of sand is 36sq/ft. You will need a little less than 2sq/yards (72sq/ft). -------------------------------------------------------- We're talking about volume, not area, so 8x8x1 = 64 cubic feet, not sq. ft. A "yard" of sand actually means a cubic yard and is 3ft x 3ft x 3ft = 27 cubic feet, not 36 sq/ft. So you need 64/27 or a little over 2 1/3 cubic yards of sand.
