the formula for figuring out asphalt is.. L x W x D x 110 / 9 / 2000 = tons of asphalt. Where: L = Length in feet W = Width in feet D = Depth in inches 110 = a average weight of a square foot asphalt 1 inch thick /9 = convert to square yards /2000 = convert weight to tons So.. 27707 x 3 x 110 / 9 / 2000 = 508 tons.

I work with asphalt, paving roads. We have to figure out how mush asphalt it will take to pave or resurface a road. We do this based on the length, width and how thick we are going to put it down.

We also use this in reverse to check how much asphalt we are putting down per square yard as we go along.
