Hi
I have seen websites where you enter wood, in a width (of say 25mm), thickness (of 15mm) and length of 2.1m.
And it comes up with a price.
I'm told per cubic metres of wood it is around £1,000.
I read that you do width x thickness xx length.
If I do that, I get over 787,000. Surely a length of wood is not £1,000.
I did 2100 x 25 x 15. Is that wrong?

You've managed to calculate the volume in cubic millimeters.

So how do I get that to cubic metres? I read that you divide by 1,000,000,000

Or calculate the volume using meters instead of millimeters.

I wish. Problem is, the buyers buy in millimetres rather than metres.
Unless I convert whatever they enter, into metres first?

If you lived in America I would forgive you for not knowing how to convert millimeters into meters. Those aren't units we use much over here. But you're in the UK. You should know this. You really, really should know this.

What has this world come to when an American is explaining metric conversion to a European!
PS - you can also think of the numbers as decimals: 25cm = 0.25m, 25mm = 0.025m
