You need to know how much area you are covering and how thick you want the mulch to be. Roughly 3 inches thick is good enough. That is 3/12 = 0.25 feet thick
Take area in square feet times thickness in feet, which gives a volume in cubic feet, then divide by 27 to covert to cubic yards
For example, if you want to mulch an an area that is 75 feet long and 5 feet wide, the volume is 75 x 5 x .25 = 93.75 cu ft
93.75/27 = 3.5 yards (3 and 1/2 yards)

No. 36x36x36 is the cubic inches in a cubic yard. 46656 cubic inches equal a cubic yard.
Square foot doesn't tell you, you need to know cubic footage and then figure how many cubic yards that makes. Cement is sold by the cubic yard.
There are no cubes in a yard. There are 3x3x3=27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.
1 cubic yard of what?
To calculate the number of 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard, we need to first determine the volume of a cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, a cubic yard is equivalent to 201.96 gallons. Therefore, there are approximately 40.39 (201.96 divided by 5) 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard.
