Various types of rock are used as construction and landscaping materials. For example, crushed granite is a convenient and inexpensive material for paving driveways and garden paths. It is necessary on such projects to figure out the cubic yards of material needed, and rock is usually sold in cubic yards. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume, rather than area, and it tells you how much material is needed to fill a space, instead of just covering the surface.
Measure the length and width, in feet, of the area to be covered.

∙ 14y ago1 cubic yard of crushed rock fills 3/depth in feet square yards.
About 35... there are 27cubic feet in one cubic yard so determine how many cubic feet you need and divide by 27... in your case 52x 18x 1= 936 cubic feet 936/27= 34.66 cubic yards
38ft*6ft*1.5inch = 38/3 yards*2yards*1.5/36yards = 1.055... cubic yards.
Square footage is only PART of the equation. You also need to know the temperature of the ice you're trying to melt.
The answer will depend on the depth of the covering that is required. Without that information, the question cannot be answered.
You need to know the weight of 1 cub. yard of rock.
Unless the rock is completely flat, there is no point in measuring the rock in yards.

1 cubic yard of crushed rock fills 3/depth in feet square yards.
there is about 1.25 yards to a ton,so 22.5 tons would be approx 18 yards
For the calculus you need the density of this rock: M = V x d.
They need to determine the amount of radioactive decay of a specific isotope in the rock since its formation.
how much 1" rock will I need to fill in a hole 20' long, 2' wide' and about 2' deep

Provided it's not a short tandem, 15 yards with a 'rock tub' dump body and 16 yards with a 'dirt tub' dump body are typical.
Almost 6 yards, or about a medium dump truck load.
Multiply length (feet) X width (feet) X depth (inches). Divide by 12, then divide by 27. That will get you how many yards you need. Since you do not indicate the depth in your question, I cannot calculate for you. If you want to know how many tons multiply your yards by 1.3 for crushed rock. Hope this gets you what you asked for.
