Volume = 50-ft x 5-ft x 1/4-ft = 62.5 cubic feet
You'll need
(62.5)/(cubic feet of mulch in each bag) bags.
100 cubic foot bags.
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.
3 inches = 1/4 footVolume = (308 x 1/4) = 77 cubic feet.That's (77/2) = 38.5 bags
You need (182/3) divided by (cubic feet of mulch in each bag) bags.
4.4 bags for each 1-foot deep. 2.2 bags for each 6-inches deep. Each 5-ft3 bag will cover the area to 2.72 inches deep.
To determine how many bags of mulch you need, first calculate the area you want to cover by multiplying the length by the width (in feet) to get square footage. Then, decide on the depth of mulch you want, typically 2-3 inches. Most bags cover about 2 cubic feet; use this information to convert your total area and desired depth into cubic feet and divide by the coverage of each bag to find the total number of bags needed. Always round up to account for settling and any miscalculations.

To determine how many bags of mulch you need for a 16 square foot area, you first need to decide on the desired depth of the mulch. For example, if you want a 2-inch depth, you'll need about 2 cubic feet of mulch per square foot (since there are 12 inches in a foot, 2 inches is 1/6 of a foot). For a 16 square foot area at 2 inches deep, you would need approximately 32 cubic feet of mulch. Since each bag is 0.8 cubic feet, you would need 32 / 0.8 = 40 bags of mulch.
It depends on the size of the bag of mulch. If the bags are 3 cu.ft., 9 bags equal 1 yard, but if the bags are 2 cu.ft., approximately 13-14 bags equal 1 yard.

It will cover about 8 sq.feet if you spread it one inch thick.
You need (182/3) divided by (cubic feet of mulch in each bag) bags.
To determine how many bags of mulch you need for 955 square feet at a depth of 2 inches, first calculate the volume of mulch required. At 2 inches thick, you need 955 square feet x (2/12) feet = 159.17 cubic feet. If each bag of mulch contains 2 cubic feet, you would divide 159.17 by 2, resulting in approximately 79.58 bags. Therefore, you would need about 80 bags of mulch.
4.4 bags for each 1-foot deep. 2.2 bags for each 6-inches deep. Each 5-ft3 bag will cover the area to 2.72 inches deep.
how many bags of mulch will i need 2 inches thick and 30 feet of ground ?
