1 (cubic yard) = 46 656 cubic inchesIf the depth is 2 inches then the area it will cover is 46656/2 square inches = 23,328 square inches. Convert 23,328 square inches to square yards23 328 (square inches) = 18 square yards
50 pounds covers 0.5 cubic feet. Since the depth is 3 inches, or 1/4 foot, you can cover 0.5/.25 = 2 square feet of area. That is not very much.
To cover that area to that depth - you would need just under 8 cubic yards of soil.
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.
Technically, none. A square foot is a measure of area whereas it is the volume of water that is required. To convert from area to volume it is necessary to know the depth. A twelfth of a cubic foot will cover an area of one square foot to a depth of 1 inch. A cubic foot will cover it to a depth of 1 foot, 100 cubic feet will cover it to a depth of 100 feet.
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 1,620/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
However much you want. By suitably varying the thickness, you could, in theory cover the surface of the earth or even a larger area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth in inches)
To calculate the amount of soil needed, you multiply the area by the desired depth. In this case, you have 9300 square feet and want a depth of 12 inches. Convert the depth to feet (12 inches = 1 foot) and multiply: 9300 square feet x 1 foot = 9300 cubic feet of soil. So, you need 9300 cubic feet of soil to cover the area with a depth of 12 inches.

That really depends on the size and weight of the bale, as well as the depth of the cover. One large round bale of hay can be unrolled for at least 20 or 30 yards with a depth of 8 inches, where as a small square will only cover 5 square feet of area if all the flakes were put together in a square or rectangle.
It depends on how thick the mulch is applied. For example, if applied at an average depth of two inches, the cubic yard of mulch will cover 162 square feet. If applied at an average depth of four inches, half that area or 81 square feet, etc.
The answer depends on the depth to which the area is covered.
You convert everything to compatible units. Then you multiply area x depth. I suggest you convert the depth to feet; in that case, the answer will be in cubic feet.
If it is the same as concrete it will cover 162 square feet. concrete covers 81 square feet by 4" deep
To cover that area to that depth - you would need just under 8 cubic yards of soil.
