    Default A easy way of how to work out super foot

    Hi there,
    I have made these, to make working out the size of a board, and working the cost out using super foot, there is an example of calculating down lower. Hope it makes scent's.

    How to work out super foot
    Cost per super foot / cost per cubic inch
    $1 = 0.00644
    $2 = 0.01388
    $3 = 0.02083
    $4 = 0.02777
    $5 = 0.03472
    $6 = 0.04166
    $7 = 0.04861
    $8 = 0.05555
    $9 = 0.0625
    $10 = 0.06944
    $11 = 0.07638
    $12 = 0.08333
    $13 = 0.09027
    $14 = 0.09722
    $15 = 0.10416
    $16 = 0.11111
    $17 = 0.11805
    $18 = 0.125
    $19 = 0.13194
    $20 = 0.13888
    $21 = 0.14583
    $22 = 0.15277
    $23 = 0.15972
    $24 = 0.16666
    $25 = 0.17361

    -------------------------
    Calculate the volume of material in Inches - By multiplying the length x width x hight


    1” x 6” x 24”
    = 144 (one super foot)

    Multiply
    144 By the number in the table above. Eg. Timber at $10 dollars a super foot (144 x 0.06944)

    The answer is
    144 x 0.06944
    = $9.99936 (Very close to to $10)

    Hi,
    Don't quite understand, a 100mm x 100mm x 1000mm would cost $25 dollars at $2500 a cube.
    Regards Ben
