How do you calculate hot mix asphalt by the ton to square feet covering an area 20x20 9 inches thick?

Calculate the volume of mix needed by multiplying 20x20x9. This gives cubic inches. Then divide that answer by 144 cubic inches per cubic foot, and you have the volume in cubic feet.

A cubic foot of asphalt is a different weight depending on the weight of the rock in contains, but let's 158 pound of asphalt hotmix per cubic foot. Multiply the volume in cubic feet, above, by 158lbs, and you have the weight of mix per 20x20x9.

Divide the answer by 2000 to convert to tons. Divide the tonnage by the weight per cubic feet calculated above in the second paragraph.

How many miles equals kiliometer?

A kilometre is less than a mile. The way I remember it is for every 8 kms there is 5 miles. So if you are converting miles to kms you divide miles by 5 and then multiply by answer by 8. So 25 miles would be 25 divided by 5 = 5 then x 8 = 40 so 25 miles is 40 kms. OR converting the other way is divide km's by 8 then multiply by 5. So 64 kms would be 64 divided by 8 = 8 x 5 = 40 so 64 kms is equal to 40 miles.

The correct answer though is actually 1 mile is 1.60934 km and 1 km is 0.62137 miles
