You can't really convert it. They are two different things.
Yards is just a measurement. It is just like inches. Ex: This beam is 7 yards long.
Cubic yards is the volume of an object.
Ex: All the sides of the cube are 2 yards. In order to find the volume, you multiply the length, width, and height of the cube.Therefore, the cube's volume is 8 cubic yards.
I don't really know how to say it, but that yards is one thing and cubic yards is another thing. They don't relate that much. There is no possible conversion.

DevinTo convert tons of concrete to yards of concrete, you need to know the density of the concrete. As a general rule of thumb, one ton of concrete is equivalent to about 0.54 cubic yards of concrete. This conversion factor may vary slightly depending on the specific density of the concrete mixture being used.
How exact of an answer do you need? It depends on the type of stone the gravel is made up of, and to a lesser extent on the size composition of the gravel. Granitic or limestone rocks are much less dense than basaltic rocks (think light rocks and dark rocks, respectively). Licht-colored rocks (being typically feldspathic or carbonate) generally weigh less for a given volume than the darker rocks. As a starting guess I'd say light-colored rocks are about 20% - 50% denser than water. For dark rocks (assuming they are basaltic, a reasonable guess) I'd guess twice as heavy than a similar volume of water (I am less certain on this one, as I haven't handled much basaltic rock in bulk). Since gravel has a lot of holes in it (void space) the gravel may be only 10%-20% heavier than an equal overall volume of water. Uniform-sized gravel tends to have a good bit more void space than mixed sizes (think of sand filling the holes between the big chunks, versus the big chunks alone with only air between them). A cubic yard of water weighs about oh, 1700 pounds or 770 kg, your gravel would probably weigh between 1900 to 3500 pounds per cubic yard. AT 2000 pounds per ton, that's about 1 to 2 tons per cubic yard. Is that close enough?

Convert 9800 cubic yards of sand to tons?
To convert cubic yards of sand to tons, you can use the following formula: 1 cubic yard of sand is approximately equal to 1.35 tons. Therefore, 9800 cubic yards of sand would be approximately equal to 9800 * 1.35 = 13230 tons.
How many yd in 24.68 tons?
To convert tons to yards, you would need to know the specific material and its density. The conversion factor will vary depending on the material. Without this information, it is not possible to accurately convert tons to yards.
Can you convert cubic meter of concrete with density of 2400 kgm3 to metric tons of concrete?
To convert cubic meters to metric tons, you need to multiply by the density. Cubic meters to metric tons: 1 m^3 of concrete * 2400 kg/m^3 = 2400 kg or 2.4 metric tons. Therefore, 1 cubic meter of concrete with a density of 2400 kg/m^3 is equal to 2.4 metric tons of concrete.
What is the Weight of a concrete truck with eight cubic yards of concrete?
A concrete truck carrying eight cubic yards of concrete typically weighs around 70,000 pounds (35 tons) when fully loaded. The weight can vary depending on the specific type of concrete being carried and the size of the truck.
Please Convert 509 tons of asphalt concrete binder course to cubic meter?
To convert 509 tons of asphalt concrete binder course to cubic meters, you need to know the density of the material. The density of asphalt concrete binder course can vary, but a common value is around 2.2 tons per cubic meter. Using this value, 509 tons would be approximately 231.36 cubic meters.
