Insulation question...should be pretty easy

[TheSiege]

I know how many linear feet I need. Its for the floor between floors. Its about 350 linear feet. Total square feet is 486 or 13.5 ft x 36 feet. I want to use r-19 insulation. But everything is calculated in sqft. I have no idea how much I need.

How many of these

Each batt in that package is about 3.25 square feet...presuming your joists are 16" wide...each one will cover about 8 linear feet. (94 inches) You'll need to measure each opening separately to calculate your total number. Not sure how many batts are in the package.

If you do this, I highly recommend you get a disposable suit (with head hood) eye protector and respirator

I have severe OCD around broken glass, and that includes cut fiberglass dust
