Calculate the volume of mix needed by multiplying 20x20x9. This gives cubic inches. Then divide that answer by 144 cubic inches per cubic foot, and you have the volume in cubic feet.
A cubic foot of asphalt is a different weight depending on the weight of the rock in contains, but let's 158 pound of asphalt hotmix per cubic foot. Multiply the volume in cubic feet, above, by 158lbs, and you have the weight of mix per 20x20x9.
Divide the answer by 2000 to convert to tons. Divide the tonnage by the weight per cubic feet calculated above in the second paragraph.

To calculate the amount of hot mix asphalt needed to cover an area 20x20 feet at a depth of 9 inches, first convert the thickness to feet (9 inches = 0.75 feet). Then calculate the volume of asphalt required by multiplying the area (20x20 = 400 square feet) by the thickness in feet (400 sq ft x 0.75 ft = 300 cubic feet). As asphalt is typically sold by weight, you will need to know the specific density of the hot mix asphalt in order to convert the volume to tons.

How many square feet does 1 ton of asphalt cover at 2 inches?
As a rule of thumb, 0.112 tons of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 1 square yard or 9 square feet. Thus 1 tone of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 8.93 square yards or 80.36 square feet. ------------------------------- Another (possibly more accurate) way of doing this is to use standards 1 ton [long, UK] = 2240 pounds Density of compacted Asphalt = 147 pounds per cubic foot (1728 cubic inches) 12 inches times 12 inches times 2 inches = 288 cubic inches Thus the weight of 288 cubic inches of compacted asphalt will be (288/1728)* 147 = 24.5 pounds. Therefore a tone of asphalt will cover 2240/24.5 = 91.43 square feet to a depth of 2 inches.
How many square inches is 10000 lineal inches?
To calculate the square inches from lineal inches, you need a specific width measurement. If we assume a width of 1 inch, then 10000 lineal inches would equal 10000 square inches. If the width is different, you would multiply the lineal inches by the width in inches to get the square inches.
How many meters is 190.5 inches x 122 inches?
To convert inches to meters, you can use the conversion factor 1 inch = 0.0254 meters. First, calculate the area in square inches: 190.5 inches x 122 inches = 23211 square inches. Then convert square inches to square meters by multiplying by the conversion factor squared: 23211 sq inches x (0.0254 m/inch)^2 = 37.63 square meters.
