You could do this, but the results will depend on the condition and depth of the asphalt. You need a good foundation to support the cement so that it will last without shifting or cracking. Most times, it seems that it is money well-spent to dig up the existing asphalt, add in crushed rock or concrete and rebar before repaving with cement. See the attached article.

Calculate gallons of asphalt cement in a ton of asphalt?
The answer is, it depends. Different types of bituminous cement concrete (asphalt hot mix) use different percentages of asphalt cement. In Virginia, base mixes use at least 4.4% asphalt, while surface mixes are up to about 6%. Liquid asphalt is a little heavier than water; it weighs about 9.4#/gallon (depending on the source and grade). Here's the math: Base mix 2000#/ton x 4.4%/9.4#/gal. = 9.36 gal/ton surface mix 2000#/ton x 6%/9.4#/gal. = 12.76 gal/ton hope this answers the question.
