Here is an approximate value. The actual value will depend on the type of steel.
1/4" = 1/48'
4' x 8' x 1/48' = .667 ft³.
The density of steel is around 490 lbs per ft³
.667 ft³ x 490 lbs / ft³ = 327 lbs.

depending on what kind of steel.
you'll have to find a table with density listings.
look up the material you want.
find the volume of the piece, then multiply by it's density = weight.
V = 0.25" x 48" x 96" = cubic inches
make sure your units are the same as the density...you might have to do a conversion.
i.e. inches to feet.....or cm to m.....oz. to lbs......etc.
