If you are trying to figure out the 40lb bags of dirt they sell at the store... It takes about 50 of those to equal 1 (cubic) yard of dirt. I just had to do the research on it too.
there are 3 feet in a yard so i figure cubic feet and cubic yard would be the same principle. 1 1/2 bags would seem right.
I see a problem. Yes cubic yard is 3' * 3' *3' or 27 cubic feet. but each bag is 0.75 cubic feet now he want 1.5 cubic feet so 2 bags give you 1.5 cubic feet 0.75 per bag. Now if it was 1.5 cubic yards then:
27/0.75 = 36, bags per cubic yard so 36*1.5 =54 bags for 1.5 cubic yards
If a contractor brings a truckload of topsoil to your property, he might call it a 5-yard load, but he really means "5 cubic yards". Top soil, mulch, etc are measured by volume. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (3ft x 3ft x 3ft).
One site I saw said that one yard of topsoil weighs about a ton (2000 lbs).
It really doesn't make sense to multiply cubic feet by cubic feet. ft3 x ft3 gives you ft6, which would really only make sense in a universe that has 6 (or more) dimensions.
To get a volume, you'll have to multiply three lengths, for example, 3 ft x 2 ft x 1.5 ft, or an area by a length, for example, 6 square ft. x 1.5 ft. (this is equivalent to the previous example).
A cubic yard is a 3ft x 3ft x 3ft or 27 cubic feet, times 3 equals 81 cubic feet.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
27/2 = 13.5 bags
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 9 bags of 3 cubic feet per bag.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
1.5 cubic feet = (1.5/27) = 1/18th of a cubic yard
You need 18 of them.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
2 cubic feet = 0.0741 cubic yards (rounded)
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard.
It will cover about 8 sq.feet if you spread it one inch thick.
200.5 cubic feet.
1.85 cubic yards equals 49.95 cubic feet.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
100 gallons = 13.37 cubic feet.
That would depend on the density of the bags of topsoil.
There are 764.554858 liters in a cubic yard of topsoil (or anything else).
20 lbs takes us 0.2 cubic feet; a yard is 27 cubic feet; that would take 27/.2 = 135 bags. That is a lot of bags, with total weight of 2700 pounds
40 pounds of topsoil is about 2 cubic feet, which will cover an area of 12 square feet at 2 inches deep.600 square feet divided by 12 square feet per bag is 50 bags.Answer50 bags
-58
A cubic yard is 3x3x3= 27 cubic feet so you would need 27/.5 = 54 bags
A good average density for topsoil is 100 pounds per cubic foot. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, and so one cubic yard weighs around 2,700 pounds.2,700/40 = 67.5Therefore, it will take about 67.5 forty pound bags to make one cubic yard of topsoil.

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 54 half-cubic-foot bags
Almost exactly 2.00 cubic yards for every inch of topsoil depth.
It takes 5.0926 cubic yards or 137.5 cubic feet.
80# bags are 0.6 cubic feet and it takes 41 to make a cubic yard. In that case, 60# bags must be 0.45 cubic feet and it would take 55 to make a cubic yard.
