Dry sand has a density of 100 pounds/cubic foot 1 ton = 2000 pounds 2000 pounds / 100 pounds/cubic foot = 20 cubic foot 20 cubic foot / 27 = 0.74 cubic yard So 1 ton is about 3/4 of a cubic yard
To determine how many yards of sand are needed to fill a 275-gallon oil tank, first, convert gallons to cubic yards. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. Thus, 275 gallons is approximately 37 cubic feet (275 ÷ 7.48). Dividing by 27 yields about 1.37 cubic yards. Therefore, you would need approximately 1.37 yards of sand to fill a 275-gallon oil tank.
If 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet, then 4 cubic yards = 108 cubic feet.
600 US gallons = 138,600 cubic inches = 80.208333... cubic feet = 2.9707 cubic yards. (rounded)
That entirely depends on the type of sand, and how consistent the particle size is.
Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. A cubic yard is made up from 27 cubic feet. So taking a value of about 100 pounds of sand per cubic foot, 1 cubic yards of sand would weigh 2700 pounds or 1.35 ton [short, US]. Thus 4/1.35 = 2.963 So 4 short, US tons of sand would occupy a volume of 2.963 cubic yards.
To convert cubic yards of sand to tons, you can use the following formula: 1 cubic yard of sand is approximately equal to 1.35 tons. Therefore, 9800 cubic yards of sand would be approximately equal to 9800 * 1.35 = 13230 tons.

16 tons of dry sand occupies approximately 320 cubic feet of volume.
You need10.8/(the number of cubic feet of sand in each bag) bags.
500 sq ft X 1/12 ft / 27 cubic ft./cubic yard = 1.5 cubic yards
To find out how much sand to put into a sand box, or how much sand is in a sand box, measure length x width x height to get a cubic volume number. Lets say you have a sand box that measures, 41 inches by 64 inches, with 12 inches deep of sand, (The child likes to dig!!) you would have yourself there, 31,488 cubic inches of sand. However, you want to know what the volume is in cubic yards. Well then, divide 31,488 cubic inches by 46,656 cubic inches per yard, and you get, some number like, 0.6748971193 cubic yards. Lets just call it 0.70 cubic yards of sand.
Square yards is a measure of area, you need to purchase your sand as a volume not an area. You will need 2000 cubic feet of sand.
