To determine how many bags of gravel you need, first calculate the area you plan to cover by multiplying the length and width. Then, decide on the depth of gravel you require, typically around 2-3 inches for a driveway or path. Convert these measurements into cubic feet and divide by the cubic feet per bag of gravel, which is usually around 0.5 cubic feet. This will give you the number of bags needed; always round up to account for spillage or settling.
Number of bags = 1/volume of gravel in each bag .
To determine how many 50 lb bags of gravel equal half a yard, first note that half a yard of gravel typically weighs around 1,080 lbs. Since each bag weighs 50 lbs, you would divide 1,080 lbs by 50 lbs per bag. This calculation results in approximately 21.6 bags, so you would need about 22 bags of gravel to equal half a yard.
It depends on the volume of the bag and how deep you want the gravel to be.
To cover 100 square feet with gravel that is 1 inch thick, you first need to convert the thickness from inches to feet: 1 inch is 1/12 feet. Therefore, the volume of gravel required is 100 square feet × (1/12) feet = 8.33 cubic feet. If each bag of gravel is 0.05 cubic feet, you would need 8.33 cubic feet ÷ 0.05 cubic feet per bag = 166.6 bags. Rounding up, you would need 167 bags of gravel.
To determine how many bags of 5 cubic feet of gravel are needed for a 3x50 area, first calculate the total volume of gravel required. The area is 3 feet wide and 50 feet long, giving a total volume of 150 cubic feet (3 ft x 50 ft). Dividing this by the volume of each bag (5 cubic feet), you would need 30 bags of gravel (150 ÷ 5 = 30).
you would need 23 bags OK
Number of bags = 1/volume of gravel in each bag .
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 54 half-cubic-foot bags
To determine how many 50 lb bags of gravel equal half a yard, first note that half a yard of gravel typically weighs around 1,080 lbs. Since each bag weighs 50 lbs, you would divide 1,080 lbs by 50 lbs per bag. This calculation results in approximately 21.6 bags, so you would need about 22 bags of gravel to equal half a yard.

It would obviously depend on how thickly you wanted to cover the surface, and how 'tall' a single unit of pea gravel was. You would need 736 bags per foot depth.

A cubic yard is 3x3x3= 27 cubic feet so you would need 27/.5 = 54 bags
A standard bag of pea gravel typically contains about 0.5 cubic feet of gravel. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, you would need approximately 54 bags of pea gravel to fill 1 cubic yard. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific volume listed on the bag, as sizes may vary.
