Question

The outside diameter of a pipe is 5 and 7/32 inches. The walls of the pipe are 5/32 inches thick. What is the inside diameter?

Answer 1

check the picture below

thus


`\bf 5(7)/(32)-\cfrac{5}{32}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 32+7}{32}-\cfrac{5}{32}\implies \cfrac{167}{32}-\cfrac{5}{32}\implies \cfrac{162}{32} \\\\\\ \cfrac{81}{16}\implies 5(1)/(16)''`
