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.
You need (182/3) divided by (cubic feet of mulch in each bag) bags.
3 inches = 1/4 footVolume = (308 x 1/4) = 77 cubic feet.That's (77/2) = 38.5 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.
100 cubic foot bags.
226.875
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.

Approximately 3 bags of 0.8 cubic feet of rubber mulch are needed to cover an area of 105 square feet that is 1 inch thick.
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 ?
1.85 cubic yards...probably 25 bags or so
You don't use bags for mulch. You buy bags OF mulch. And you can get them at the box stores at the right time of year.
It would take roughly 66 bags to cover a 200 square ft area 2 inches thick
