Question

A door manufacturer specifies the width of a front-entrance door as 36 inches with a tolerance of ±0.0625 inches. When designing a prefabricated home, what should you ensure the width of the door opening is greater than?

- 33.75 inches
- 35.9375 inches
- 36.0625 inches
- 37.0625 inches
- 38.75 inches

Answer 1

To ensure the width of the door opening is greater than the specified width of the front-entrance door, it should be wider than 36.0625 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure that the width of the door opening is greater than the specified width of the front-entrance door, we need to consider the maximum and minimum values within the tolerance range. The maximum width would be 36 inches + 0.0625 inches = 36.0625 inches.

So the door opening should be wider than 36.0625 inches to accommodate the maximum width of the door.
