Two measurements are indication of area. The area would be 144 square inches.
It would be equal to the number of blocks in cubic inches.
A 12 inch square block is a sq ft, so 208.

Volume of 1 inch block is 1 cubic inch Volume of 1/2 inch block is (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8 cubic inch Therefore number of 1/2 inch blocks in 1 cubic inch block = 1/(1/8) = 8

Where are 12 inch concrete blocks applied?
More information is needed EG what type of 12 inch blocks there are many(see link below). Also what way up are you using these blocks. http://www.boralbestblock.com/product-lines/masonry/standard-block/12-inch-block

There are 64 quarter inches to a cubic inch block. There are 4 quarter inches per one inch of measure. And there is 4 times 4 square quarter inches of area to a square inch. Which is 16 square inches. And since we are talking about a solid, we have to multiply this again by 4 which would represent the depth of the cube. So then you have 4 times 4 times 4 which is 64. Also can be represented as 4 to third power of 4 cubed. (4X4X4) Which can be seen as a cube with 4 units of measure on each of its sides.

Calculate the exterior face area of he wall you want to build and the face area of the side of the cinder block (add about 1/2 inch to length and 12 inch to width for mortar thickness). Divide the wall area by the block area This is the number of blocks you require. This is how I figure out how many blocks you will need: First measure the length of walls for the blocks in feet. Second divide that number by 4 then multiply the total by 3. That will give you total blocks needed for one course of blocks.
