Help Support UKworkshop.co.uk:
(width in inches divided by 12) x (thickness in inches divided by 12) x length in feet = cubic feet
work out each part and multiply together.
in your example
12/12 = 1
1/12 = 0.083
72"/12 = 6 ft
1 x 0.083 x 6= just under 1/2 a cubic foot (0.498)
Or you can do width in inches x thickness in inches x length in feet and divide by 144.
In your example (12 x 1 x 6)/144
work out each part and multiply together.
