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.

What will a square yard cover in feet to a depth of 6 inches?
Knowing how many square yards in feet will cover when working with depths up to six inches, in important to know, especially in construction. There will be 54 square feet when you have a depth of six inches.
How do you calculate hot mix asphalt by the ton to square feet covering an area 20x20 9 inches thick?
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 much square feet does 27 cubic feet cover?
To find the square footage that 27 cubic feet would cover, you would need additional information such as the height or depth. Cubic feet measures volume (3 dimensions), while square feet measures area (2 dimensions). Without knowing the height or depth, it is not possible to determine the square footage.
1296 square inches equals how many square feet?
1296 square inches is equal to 9 square feet. To convert square inches to square feet, you divide the number of square inches by 144, as there are 144 square inches in one square foot.
How much soil do i need to cover 9300 square feet with 12 inches of soil?
To calculate the amount of soil needed, you multiply the area by the desired depth. In this case, you have 9300 square feet and want a depth of 12 inches. Convert the depth to feet (12 inches = 1 foot) and multiply: 9300 square feet x 1 foot = 9300 cubic feet of soil. So, you need 9300 cubic feet of soil to cover the area with a depth of 12 inches.
