Convert board foot to cubic meter

Learn how to convert 1 board foot to cubic meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (b o a r d f o o t) = x (c u b i c m e t e r)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (b o a r d f o o t) = 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.0 (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.0 (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (b o a r d f o o t) = x (c u b i c m e t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 1.0 \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 1.0 \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3} = x

Switch sides

x = 2.359737216 \times 10^{- 3}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0023597372 \approx 2.3597 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (b o a r d f o o t) \approx 2.3597 \times 10^{- 3} (c u b i c m e t e r)
