The answer is, remarkably, 6. Answer: "6 sack" or "6 bag mix" has six bags of cement per cubic yard of concrete mix. Since each sack/bag contains 94 lbs of dry cement, this equals 564 lbs of cement per cubic yard of concrete.
It depends on the usage of the concrete. For footings, you would need 5 bags of cement. For sidewalks, etc. you would need 6 bags. Generally, if you know the usage it's for, you can contact a local ready-mix plant and they can tell you exactly.
The number of bags of cement needed for a 3000 psi concrete mix can vary depending on the specific mix design, but a common ratio is approximately 1 bag of cement (94 lbs) for every 1 cubic yard of concrete. A typical mix for 3000 psi concrete might use a 1:2:3 ratio of cement, sand, and gravel. Therefore, for a cubic yard of 3000 psi concrete, you would typically use one bag of cement. However, for precise calculations, it's best to consult a concrete mix design guide or professional.
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.

Forty five 80 pound bags of cement are needed to make one cubic yard of concrete.
According to the FAQ on the Sakrete web site, Sixty of their sixty pound bags of High Strength concrete mix will be required to make a cubic yard of concrete.

Here's a link to a great concrete calculator that will compute that for you!
Oh, isn't that a lovely question! In a cubic yard, you can typically fit around 13-14 bags of cement, depending on the size of the bags. Just imagine all the wonderful things you can create with that much cement - it's truly a painter's dream!

typically one pallet, i believe theres 42 80lb bags on a pallet.

Depending on the use of the concrete, between 5-6 bags.
6 x 4.32 = 25.92 so you will need 26 bags. You might want to get up to 10 % extra for waste.
