Some places sell crushed stone by the ton, while others sell it by the cubic yard (yd3) (a lot of times just called a yard).
Here are the amounts in cubic yards and tons using the dimensions you posted (40ft long x 8ft wide x 4in deep)
? yd3 = 40ft x 8ft x 4in x (1ft/12in) x (1yd3/27ft3) = 3.95yd3 => 4 cubic yards
From the table, we find crushed stone is 100 lb/ft3 and crushed granite is 103 lb/ft3
so,
crushed stone:
tons per yd3 = 100 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.35 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yard
crushed granite:
tons per yd3 103 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.3905 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yard
The difference in weight is negligible between the two materials, so using either one, you would need roughly 5.5 tons (English) of crushed stone.

How many tons of crushed stone covers 4 inches by 7676 square feet?
"4 inches" is a length. "7676 square feet" is an area. "4 inches by 7676 square feet" describes a volume, which is equal to 2,558.67 cubic feet. (= 7676/3, because 4 in = 1/3 ft.) So your question is better put as "How many tons of crushed stone does it take to cover an area of 7676 square feet to a depth of 4 inches?" The answer depends on the density of the crushed stone. I can't answer that, but I've given your question a clearer phrasing.
