    I hope im in the correct forum.

    I am trying to calculate the weight of 2 granite slabs using the 2,600 kg/ m3 formula

    the dimensions are:

    Piece 1: 9.5 ft x 2.2 ft x300mm
    Piece 2: 2.2 ft x 5.5 ft x 30mm

    300mm ? You sure ?

    Convert all to mm

    9.5ft = 2895.6mm
    2.2ft = 670.56mm

    2.2ft = 670.56mm
    5.5ft = 1676.4mm

    2895.6*670.56*300 = 582,502,060.8 mm3
    if the figure should be 30mm
    2895.6*670.56*30 = 58,250,206.08 mm3

    670.56*1676.4*30 = 33,723,803.52 mm3

    Total is 91,974,009.6 mm3

    this is .0919740096 m3


    0.0919740096 = 2,600 = 239.132kg


    If the 300mm figure is correct, then 616225864.32 mm3 = 0.61622586432 m3

    0.61622586432 * 2,600 = 1,602.187 kg

    So, either 239.132kg or 1,602.187kg

    Actually, just realised I gave total weight.

    Per slab:

    Piece 1: 9.5 ft x 2.2 ft x300mm is 1514.505 kg in weight (or if that should be 30mm then 151.45 kg).

    Piece 2: 2.2 ft x 5.5 ft x 30mm is 87.681 kg in weight.
