2.5 cubic feet is 75qt.
So if anyone offers you 16qt of bedding for ten bucks OR 2.5sq ft. of bedding for fifteen bucks take the latter.

I was working through the math while you replied. Oh well.

chris_harper2 Nov 30, 2003 11:08 PM

Feel free to double check my math. I do not have a calculator handy so I had to do this on paper.

cubic root of 2.5 is approximately 1.35.

1.35 x 12 = 16.2

16.2 to the third power is 4251

4251/231 = 18.4 (231 cubic inches per gallon)

18.4 x 4 = 4.6 (4 quarts per gallon)

Sorry if I made any mistakes. I'm a bit tired at the moment.

Thanks for the link. Last night I'd thought it would be easier to do the math rather than look up a conversion.

Figuring out the cube root was a pain, though...

I am always looking for a conversion from something to something.
