Most paving is about 40% asphalt. So about 40% of a cubic yard.

As a rule of thumb - 1 cubic yard of asphalt weighs 4000 lbs (2 tons) +-
Asphalt installation is usually bid by the square yard, the installer will buy asphalt by the ton, and it will be delivered in a truck measured in cubic yards. Therefore, a volume/weight/area ratio is required. In short, an estimator will typically assume that one square yard of compacted asphalt laid one inch deep will weigh approximately 111 pounds.
I work with asphalt, paving roads. We have to figure out how mush asphalt it will take to pave or resurface a road. We do this based on the length, width and how thick we are going to put it down. With a known weight per square yard we can figure out how many tons of asphalt we will need for a given road. We also use this in reverse to check how much asphalt we are putting down per square yard as we go along.
I use a conversion factor of 152 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for asphalt, as a general rule of thumb. For a CY, multiply by 27, to get 4,104 pcy (pounds per cubic yard) of asphalt.

I square yard is a suare measuring 1 yard by 1 yard, which is the same as a square measuring 3 feet by 3 feet. 3 feet x 3 feet = 9 square feet.
It depends on what is being weighed. One cubic yard of cement weighs about 4,000 pounds. One cubic yard of asphalt weighs 2,700 pounds, and one cubic yard of basalt rock weighs about 4,887 pounds.
