[Humper]

10x20x12= 2400 cubic inches of Al
12x12x12= 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot
2400/1782= 1.39 cubic ft in your block of Al
1 cubic ft of al = 168.55 pounds
168.55x1.39=234.292 pounds

Now that some cyphering...good job!

One international avoirdupois pound is exactly 453.59237 grams.
Each 12oz. beer can is approximately 15 grams (0.5 oz.).
453.59237/15=30.234 cans/pound
234.292 pounds of available Al
234.292*30.234=7083.58 cans from available Al

Approximately
