    Exclamation Size conversion help

    Hey guys I'm doing my major work portfolio and got stuck with timber sizes.
    So i got some measurements but i need them in smaller sizes to figure out numbers for my costing sheet.
    ANYWAYS, if there is someone out there that can help me, and I'm sure there is, that would be great.

    If 1 cubic metre of aussie red cedar is $5544, How much does 1 cubic centimetre cost?

    Im sure it's easy to do but i can't seem to get a good answer.
    Thank you for any help.

    Default Back to Basics.

    By definition, there are 100 cm in a metre.

    Therefore a cubic metre is 1 m x 1 m x 1 m, or 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm. Thus a cubic metre is 1,000,000 cubic centimetres. I'll let you divide the cubis metre price by the number of cc's in a cubic metre.

    Also a litre is 1,000 cubic centimetres, so that 1,000 litres fits into 1 cubic metre. Note that a Commodore boot is around 500 litres.

    A cubic centimetre isn't 100 times smaller though, 1 centimetre is 100 times smaller then a 1m.

    Fark I HATE when people say 'timesing' instead of 'multiplied by'. It makes them sound like a bloody 3rd grader.
