Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I have a old freezer and now I have to replace it with a new one. How do I find the cubic of the old freezer.

Maasure the inside dimensions of the freezer, and multiply them together.

For example, if you had a (ridicuously small) freezer that was one foot by one foot by one foot inside, it would be one cubic foot, because one times one times one is one. Now if it were two foot by two foot by two foot, it would be 2 ft x 2 ft x 2ft = 8 ft³.

To do this in inches, you can either multiply the cubic foot measurement by 1,728, or you can cpnvert your original measurements to inches, and the multiply them out.

Why 144? observe:

1 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot = 1 cubic foot

1 foot = 12 inches, so:

12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches = 1,728 cubic inches

Therefor 1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches.
