Some places sell crushed stone by the ton, while others sell it by the cubic yard (yd3) (a lot of times just called a yard).
Here are the amounts in cubic yards and tons using the dimensions you posted (40ft long x 8ft wide x 4in deep)
? yd3 = 40ft x 8ft x 4in x (1ft/12in) x (1yd3/27ft3) = 3.95yd3 => 4 cubic yards
From the table, we find crushed stone is 100 lb/ft3 and crushed granite is 103 lb/ft3
so,
crushed stone:
tons per yd3 = 100 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.35 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yard
crushed granite:
tons per yd3 103 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.3905 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yard
The difference in weight is negligible between the two materials, so using either one, you would need roughly 5.5 tons (English) of crushed stone.

"4 inches" is a length. "7676 square feet" is an area. "4 inches by 7676 square feet" describes a volume, which is equal to 2,558.67 cubic feet. (= 7676/3, because 4 in = 1/3 ft.) So your question is better put as "How many tons of crushed stone does it take to cover an area of 7676 square feet to a depth of 4 inches?" The answer depends on the density of the crushed stone. I can't answer that, but I've given your question a clearer phrasing.

Using crushed stone for a driveway provides benefits such as durability, low maintenance, good drainage, and a natural appearance.

To create a durable and visually appealing crushed stone driveway, start by preparing the area by removing any vegetation and grading the surface. Next, lay a base layer of crushed stone and compact it with a roller. Then, add a second layer of crushed stone and compact it again. Finally, top it off with a layer of decorative crushed stone for a polished look. Regular maintenance, like regrading and adding more stone as needed, will help keep your driveway looking its best.
The available stone sizes for driveway construction typically range from 1/4 inch to 2 inches in diameter.

The sub-grade's compacted soil, topped by the sub-base of crushed stone and then the pea gravel.
Crushed stone is commonly used as a base material for driveways, roads, and patios. It is also used in construction projects to create a solid foundation for buildings and structures. Additionally, crushed stone can be used for landscaping purposes like drainage and decorative features in gardens.
Using a crushed stone base for constructing a driveway provides benefits such as improved drainage, stability, and durability. The crushed stones create a solid foundation that helps prevent sinking and shifting, while also allowing water to drain effectively, reducing the risk of erosion and puddling. Additionally, the compacted stones offer a strong and long-lasting surface for vehicles to drive on, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for driveway construction.

Driveway rock sizes for landscaping projects typically range from small pea gravel (1/4 inch) to larger river rock (2-3 inches). Other common sizes include crushed stone (1/2 inch) and gravel (3/4 inch). These different sizes offer various aesthetic and functional options for driveway design.

Not sure what 2b is but crushed concrete with 1 1/2" rock will cover about 60 square feet. 15 tons ends up being around 12 cubic yards.
