ordering gravel... need math help

Sorry for posting this but my whole family is math-challenged.

I am ordering gravel for my driveway, and I am trying to figure out how many sq yards to get. I know I could ask when I call in the morning, but I hate not having this stuff figured out beforehand.

I have two measured sections:
35' x 30' = 1050 sqft
110x10 = 1100 sqft

so 2250 sq feet

I want 3" of gravel, so 0.25 of a foot

2250 x 0.25 = 562.5 cubic feet

562.5/ 27 = 20.83 cubic yards

Seems like a lot to me... is that right??

Also, how long will it take my wife to spread that out?
