There is 4.8 lbs of K in each bag so to get 265 lbs of K per acre you would need over 55 bags or 2200 lbs per acre. This is way to much N and most likely to much P depending on what your test says.
You would be better off finding some Muriate of potash 0-0-60. You would need about 441 lbs of this per acre to provide you 265 lbs of K.
If you are trying to convert this down to a home garden you can use a conversion table that shows differant ratios.
For example 0-0-60 uses a ratio of
100 lbs per acre = .2 lbs or 1/3 cup per 100 sq ft
So to get 265 lbs per acre you would need .88 lbs or 1.45 cups of 0-0-60 for every 100 sq ft.
