Answers:
A very similar question was asked and already answered. If you look it up in the resolved questions you can find the formula, but your immediate answer is 40.3 bags.


I think its 45 bags = 1 cubic yard
Try the Sakrete website, for this information. It's better then guessing.
I don't know how many bags make a yard but 1 bag covers 7 square feet, 1 inch thick
According to the Quikrete web site an 80 pound bag makes 0.6 cubic feet, I say again cubic feet, of concrete mix. check out: http://www.quikrete.com/pdfs/spec_data-c... or select SPEC DATA from this site: http://www.quikrete.com/productlines/con...

Therefore to make 1 cubic yard you will need

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

To calculate many bags to make 27 cubic feet divide 27 by 0.6. Answer is 45 bags.
I THINK THAT THE BAGS ARE TWO THIRDS CU. FT. IF SO 36BAGS
