Assuming that the boards are 2 inch x 14 inch then: Total width is 14x12 inches. Since the boards are 14 in wide the total required is 14. To calculate the board measure (which you will need for ordering purposes, multiply length in ft. by width in ft. of the board. Then multiply this product by the thickness in inches. Assuming the length is 20 ft then the board measure is 20ft x 14ft x 2in = 560 ft. B. M. Worked examples are at the accompanying web link.
It depends on the size of the boards.
i have a 1250 square foot deck and need to figure out how many linear feet of decking material I need. the boards are 6 X 10
6 inch = 1/2 foot so each board is 16 x 1/2 = 8 square feet 200/8 = 25 boards
1 square foot is created by 3 feet of 4 inch wide boards.This can be seen by laying 3 boards each a foot long next to each other.It follows that:32 * 3 = 96 linear feet of board to cover 32 square feet of surface.The formula:(12/#widthOfBoardInInches#) * #squareFeetToCover# = #linearFeetNeeded#
800 feet / 10 foot per board = 80 boards
6in = 0.5ft 34.5ft/0.5ft = 69 You will need 69 of the 6in boards.
4,000 linear feet.

roundup
Even if you use a good supplier for your lumber, you might find that many of your deck boards are bowed. This can create gaps and sloppy look for your deck. To straighten out bowed deck boards, simply place the deck board against the others with the bowed side in and nail along the length until it is even with the other boards.
To obtain the board measure multiply the length in feet to be covered by the width in feet. If the boards are over one inch thick multiply this by the thickness in inches. Thus assuming the boards are 1 inch thick or less the board measure is 4 x 8 = 32 feet board measure (B.M.)

Oh, dude, math time! So, to cover a 28x16 deck, you'd need 448 square feet of decking. Each 5/4x6x8 board covers about 2.22 square feet, so you'd need roughly 202 deck boards. But hey, maybe grab a few extra in case you miscount or your neighbor's dog decides to snack on one!
