How many cubic yards of  dirt  would it take to raise one acre of land  eighteen inches?

It depends on whether the acre is being measured as a "regular" acre or a "commercial" acre.  If it's a regular acre it would be 2,420 cubic yards.  If it's a commercial acre than it would only be 2,000 cubic yards.  Big difference, you'll want to get an exact measure.... and probably ask this question in one of the math sections instead of the English sections to get a more exact answer.

261360(!) assuming none have to be cut or get broken best order about 262.000 to be on the safe side. (The calculation is 4 slabs per sq yd and there are 4840 sq yds in an acre so you get 13.5 x 4840 x 4)

acre \narea of land one chain (four rods) in width by one furlong in length. As the traditional furlong could vary in length from country to country, so did the acre. In England an acre was 4,840 square yards, in Scotland 6,150 square yards and in Ireland 7,840 square yards. It is a Saxon unit, meaning field. Probably meant to be "as much area as could be plowed in one day".

16.5 to 17 yards. It all depends on how far it needs to go. The further it needs to go the closer it is to 17 yards for trajectory reasons.

not really a farm, it would be about 5.9 acres.\n\nacre (ac or A) \na unit of area used for measuring real estate in English-speaking countries. "Acre," an Old English word meaning a field, is derived from the Latin ager and Greek agros, also meaning a field. The acre was originally defined as the area that could be plowed in a day by a yoke of oxen. It was in use in England at least as early as the eighth century, and by the end of the ninth century it was generally understood to be the area of a field one furlong (40 rods or 10 chains) long by 4 rods (or 1 chain) wide. Thus an acre is 10 square chains, 160 square rods, 43 560 square feet or 4840 square yards. There are exactly 640 acres in a square mile. In metric countries the unit corresponding to the acre is the hectare, which is 10,000 square meters (the area of a square 100 meters on each side). One acre is equal to 0.404 687 3 hectare. Among traditional European land area units, the acre is typical in being defined as a day's work but unusual in not being visualized as the area of a square. Similar units include the French journal, north German and Dutch morgen, south German and Swiss juchart, Austrian joch, and Czech jitro.

That depends on how deep you want the concrete.  Multiply the desired depth (in feet) by 128,000 square feet, then divide by 27 (because there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard).

ok...realize there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard\n\nso 1 yard * 3 feet/yard = 3feet\nso 3feet * 12 in/foot = 36 inches\n\npretty cool right!!\n\nhope this helped\n\nmatttlocke

3 feet = 1 yard\nsoo 75

To convert anything you're going to need a conversion factor.  Here  1 yard = 3 feet.  You can treat units just like a number:  when multiplying, simply put what you want to get rid of on the opposite side (in this case, on the bottom - the denominator).\nsquare yard = (yard)(yard)\n[(yard)(yard)] x [(3feet)/(1yard)]\nthis will cancel one of the yards, and your units will be: (yard)(feet) so you will have to cancel again\n[3(yard)(feet)] x [(3feet)/(1yard)]\nnow you have the right units.\n\n1 square yard = 9 square feet\n\nThis approach works for converting any units, as long as you have the conversion factor.

convert everything to ft. (its easier). now, find the volume of the deep area (length times width times height). then divide by the volume by the bags of mulch

You need to buy nine yards to cover 231 square feet to 4 inches depth: Volume = depth x area = 4/12 x pi x 42^(2) / 8 = 231 cubic feet, assuming the semi circular driveway is half of a circle with diameter of 42 feet. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (3x3x3) so 231 cubic feet is about 8.55 cubic yards, which I rounded up to nine. More or less about ten pickup trucks full of topsoil.\n\nA bag of grass seed that covers 1000 square feet will allow you to seed the patch (231 square feet) three times with some left over.
