16ft x 20ft is 320 sq ft, or 29.7289728 sq meters

Divide the area 1 pack covers into this figure to calculate required quantity.

I assume it's the chipboard 3 packs for attics your talking about.
If so they are 4ft long by 2 ft wide by 3 boards = 24 sq ft or 2.3 metres so you will need 13 packs. Dont forget the screws. 4 or 5 mm by 40 or 50mm is suitable.
