You are to load a consignment of lumber. Each piece measure 3-inches thick, 12-inches wide and 16-feet long. There are 30,000 pieces in the shipment. How many board feet would be listed on the Bill of Lading?
Given:
Measurement of each stick: 3 in 12 in 16 ft
Total number of sticks = 30,000 pieces
What is asked:
Number of board feet
Solution:
One board feet is equal to 1 ft lenght × 1 ft width × 1 in height.
1. We have to calculate how many board feet in one stick.
Board feet = L × W × H
12
= 3 × 12 × 16
12
= 48 board feet in one stick
2. Since there are a total of 30,000 pieces of the same kind of stick, so
30,000 sticks × 48 board feet = 1,440,000 total board feet
