You need10.8/(the number of cubic feet of sand in each bag) bags.
The number of bags of sand needed for a ton depends on the weight of each bag. Standard bags of sand typically weigh 50 pounds. Since there are 2,000 pounds in a ton, you would need 40 bags of 50-pound sand to equal one ton.
Well, darling, if you want a concrete slab that's 5 inches thick, you'll need about 0.012 cubic meters of cement and 0.06 cubic meters of sand per square meter. Just make sure you mix it well and pour it like a boss. Good luck with your project, sugar!
To properly answer this question, one would need to know the volume of a "bag", since "bag" isn't any standard of volume or weight. Typical Portland Cement has a density to 1505kg / cubic meter. In addition, one would also need to know the coarseness of the gravel, as the ability of the sand and cement to fill in the aggregate depends heavily on the average size of the gravel pieces.
To convert the weight of the sand into a volume and find out how much you need you would need to know the density of the sand as the more dense it is the less sand there will be in a 50lb bag and the more bags you would then need to fill the yard
