How do you convert tons of rock to square yards?
This depends on how much rock you will use per square yard. Suppose you intend to use 1/100 tons (=20 lb) per square yard. Then if you have one ton of rock, it will cover 100 square yards. Similarly, if you intended to use 1/50 tons per square yard, 1 ton will cover 50 square yards. In general you want to use factor labeling: If you are using x tons per square yard, then write this as (1 square yard) / (x tons of rock) = (1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) This is called a conversion factor. Now, if you have some quantity of rock, say y tons of rock, and you want to see how many square yards it would cover you just multiply (y tons of rock)*(1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) = y/x (square yards*tons of rock/tons of rock) = y/x square yards since the labels just divide out.
How many tons are in 12.5 kilo tons?
12,500 tons
How many tons in a cubic meter of rock?
That's impossible to answer, since it entirely depends upon the type of rock. Some types of rock are much denser than others- for example, a piece of igneous rock such as granite, is much heavier than a same sized piece of sedimentary rock such as sandstone. It varies considerably.
How many tons is 2700 pounds?
