To get supplies in a usable form, you still don't want to buy them in
cubic measurements. To change inches to centimeters, multiply by 2.54

Ancient Chinese proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach
him how to fish, and you feed him for the rest of his life.
So here's your fishing lesson.
Volume = length x width x thickness
One cubic foot = 12" x 12" x 12" = (you work it out) cubic inches.
One foot = 0.3045 meters thus one cubic foot = 0.3045 x 0.3045 x 0.3045 cubic
meters.
>So how many cubic feet/metres of wood do I need?
The calculation is left to the student as an exercise.

My calculator tells me that there are approximately 35.31 cubic feet per cubic meter.
You might want to reconsider ordering 5.1 cubic meters.

multiply the values given together add them together and divide by
1728....not exactly rocket science,or did I miss something
Someone around here used to say:
"Build a man a fire and you warm him for a day; set a man on fire and you
warm him for the rest of his life."
I'd attribute it to the original author if I could remember who it was. I've
gotten a laugh from that every time I've used it.
