∙ 14y agoIn order to figure that out, you also need to know the height of your ceiling.
The volume of your house is: (2500) multiplied by (the height of the ceilings)
(Sure hope they're all the same, or this simple method won't work.)
The number of cans you need for the whole house is: (the Volume) divided by (4000).
=======================================
A slightly easier way, after we did even more of the math for you:
The number of cans you need is: (the height of your ceiling) multiplied by (0.625).
Example: If the ceilings in the whole house are 8-ft high, then you need 5 cans.

∙ 14y ago1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At a six inch depth 1 cubic foot will cover 2 square feet, so 27 cubic feet will cover 54 square feet.
1 cubic yard covers 27/depth in feet square feet.
1 (cubic yard) = 46 656 cubic inchesIf the depth is 2 inches then the area it will cover is 46656/2 square inches = 23,328 square inches. Convert 23,328 square inches to square yards23 328 (square inches) = 18 square yards

You want to cover it with 6" of material.Multiply, 12' x 18' x *.5' to get 108 cubic feet. You see, 6" is .5 feet or 1/2 a foot.Now, devide 108 cubic feet by 27 cubic feet(1 yard) to get your total yardage at 4 yards.If you want a 3" cover you use 1/4' or .25'. A four inch cover is 1/3 foot or .33', etc.OR ---- Multiply your square footage by .003 for 1" coverage.0061 for a 2" coverage .0092 for a 3" coverage and.0123 for a 4" coverage. It takes 12.3 cubic yards of top soil to cover 1,000 square feet at 4". Hope this helps. ----
To find the volume in cubic feet needed to cover 21,000 square feet, you would also need the height of the coverage area. The volume (cubic feet) is calculated by multiplying the area (square feet) by the height (feet). Without the height, it's not possible to determine the amount of cubic feet needed to cover 21,000 square feet.

Here's the formula: 27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard. 1 cubic yard will cover 324 square feet at a depth of 1 inch. 2000 square feet divided by 324 square feet = 6.2 yards (rounded). Another approach: 7 cubic yard X 324 square feet = 2268 square feet of coverage at a depth of 1 inch.
One cubic yard of mulch will cover approximately 160 square feet at 2" deep, so you would need approximately two cubic yards of mulch to cover 271 square feet at 2" deep.

OK we have sq feet but we need Cubic feet, so all we need to do is multiply sq feet times the ceiling height & that will give us cubic feet.. assuming most homes have 8' ceilings it would look like 2500 X 8=20,000 cubic feet in a 2500 sq ft home. divide 20,000 by 4000 cubic ft per can & you will need 5 cans.. hope that helps
One "yard" of dirt (meaning one cubic yard) contains 46,656 cubic inches. Spread 8 inches thick this will cover 5832 square inches or 40.5 square feet.
