The question succeeds in using three totally different units in one thought,
and seems to expect that they are somehow equivalent.
'ft' = an abbreviation for 'foot', plural 'feet', a unit of length or distance
'ton' = a unit of weight or force, defined as 2,000 pounds in the English system
'sq ft' = an abbreviation for 'square-foot', plural 'square-feet', which you correctly note
is a unit of area.
None of these three units can be converted into either of the other two.
They are units with different 'dimensions', which means that they measure
different quantities.
Mixing 'dimensions' is a serious business in physics or math. We can't go into all of
the details here, but one can begin by considering the following examples. Each of
these is an incorrect use of unit dimensions:
-- How many pounds is Grandma's house from your house ?
-- How many gallons of sleep did you get last night ?
-- Johnny, please run to the store and get me an acre of milk. This recipe
calls for five minutes, but we only have less than one square foot left.
-- Hello Jane ? It's Bob. I'm leaving now. I'll be pulling up in front of your house
in two quarts sharp. I hope you'll be ready !

HOW MANY SQ FT OF SALT IN A TON?
Nine, since there can be no conversion.A ton is a measure of mass. A square metre is a measure of area. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
How do you convert 8200 sq ft into tons?
This question has no sensible answer. A sq ft is a measure of area while a ton is a measure of mass. An area has no mass and a mass, while it has volume, has no specific area. It is, therefore, impossible to convert one measure to the other.
