The easiest way to calculate the amount of topsoil you'll need is to multiply the totals together to get the cubed feet.

If you notice you have two units of feet and one of inches. Since 16 inches is over one foot but less than two feet you'll still have to purchase an additional bag of topsoil to cover the extra 4 inches. So let's just round the 16 inches up to 24 inches or 2 feet.

24 ft x 8 ft x 2 ft = 384ft³.

How many cubic yards in an acre 20 yards deep?

You already have a square yard of topsoil, so how does 20 inches of depth get you the volume of topsoil? There are 36 inches in a yard, and you have 20 inches of topsoil depth that's 20/36ths of a yard of topsoil depth. That's 0.555... or about 0.56 yards. The volume of topsoil is 1 yard by 1 yard by 0.56 yards, or about 0.56 cubic yards of topsoil.


How much area does a yard of topsoil cover?

That depends upon how deep the soil bed is and how much moisture is in the topsoil. But here are some ballpark numbers for you: A yard of soil will cover a 10' by 10' area to a depth of three inches. In other words, figure a third of a yard per 100 square feet for every inch of depth. Length x width x # of inches deep divided by 324 = the number of cubic yards needed for that task.
