Most bags will make a 1/3 of a cubic foot of concrete.

This all depends on the mix you want. I assume you mean cement when you mention the 80lb bag of concrete. I have pushed concrete in my day... Bag cement mix is the same as concrete. Don't be funny. How many 80 pound bags will make 1 yard of concrete? I want a definitive answer this time.

An 80-pound bag of premixed cement = .667 cubic feet, or 2/3 of a cubic foot, of concrete. A 60-pound bag of premixed cement = .5 cubic feet, or 1/2 of a cubic foot, of concrete.
An 80 pound bag of premix concrete will make .6 cubic feet of cured concrete. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic meter, so it would take 45 80 pound bags to make one cubic meter.
Concrete strength is measured by "bag mix", meaning that the bag mix answers the question, how many bags of cement per yard of concrete. If you're looking for a "6 bag" mix, that means 6 bags of cement per yard of concrete. A "bag" of cement is 1 cubic foot. A yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet (3 X 3 X 3 = 27). If you want to make a "6 bag mix" of concrete, using 1 bag of cement, you would make 1/6 yard concrete with 1 bag of cement. If you would be content with a "5 bag mix", you could make 1/5 yard. Concrete is often defined as ratios of cement,sand,aggregate such as: 1:2:3 which is a very common mix. For a 1:2:3 mix you would need 1/6th of the volume to be cement. The dry ingredients are generally 1.6 x finished concrete volume. Therefore dry volumen for 1 cubic yard = 1.6 cu yards = 43.2 cu ft. 1/6 x 43.2 = 7.2cu ft. Therefore, if one bag is 1 cu ft we need 7.2 bags for a healthy 1:2:3 mix. A '6 bag mix' or a '5 bag mix' are a bit short on cement.
.375 cf per bag / 27 cf per cy = 0.13888 cy per bag 1 cy / 0.13888 cy per bag = 72 bags
Concrete is measured in metric volume via cubic yards. Standards consider a 94 lb. bag of cement to be one cubic foot when freshly packed. 94 evenly fits into the 1-2-3 mix ratio when figuring the recipe 1 part cement- 2 parts gravel- 3 parts sand to make concrete.
