You'll have to convert it to cubic inches. A cubic foot has 1 ft length, 1 ft width and 1 ft height. There are 12 inches in a foot so... 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in^3 or 1728 cubic inches.


What is the cubic feet of a microwave 13 deep by 14 wide by 9 inches high?

Either convert everything to feet first (e.g., 13 feet = 13/12 inch), and multiply; then you get the result directly in cubic feet. Or, multiply the inches first; the result will be in cubic inches; if you divide this by 12 cubed (1728), the result will again be in cubic feet.Either convert everything to feet first (e.g., 13 feet = 13/12 inch), and multiply; then you get the result directly in cubic feet.

How do you get inches into cubic feet?

Inches is a unit of LENGTH. Cubic feet is a unit of VOLUME. Because the units are incompatible, you cannot convert one into another. BUT if the problem is to convert 36 CUBIC inches into cubic feet, then the units are compatible because cubic inches IS a unit of volume. To compute the conversion ratio, first compute the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot: a cubic foot is equivalent to the volume of a cube with all sides equal to 12". The volume then is 12" X 12" X 12" = 1728 cu. in. Therefore to convert from cubic inches to cubic feet, divide the cubic inches by 1728. So to convert 36 cu. in. to cu. ft. take 36 divided by 1728 = 0.0208 cu. ft. Hope this helps! Mathaman
