Final answer:
To calculate the total board footage, multiply the length, width, and thickness of each piece of lumber and add the results. Each piece of lumber measures 1" x 8" x 14', which is converted to 1" x 8" x 14/12 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total board footage, we need to multiply the length, width, and thickness of each piece of lumber and then add all the results together. In this case, each piece of lumber measures 1" x 8" x 14'. To convert the measurements to feet, we divide the length by 12. So, the measurements become 1" x 8" x 14/12 feet. Multiplying these values, we get a total board footage of 112 cubit feet. The total board footage is 112 cubic feet.
To convert 16.0 inches to centimeters, we multiply by the conversion factor of 2.54 cm/inch, which equals 40.64 cm. Vertical studs spaced 16.0 inches apart are thus 40.64 centimeters apart.
The question posed involves conversion of units from the imperial system to the metric system. Specifically, it asks to convert a distance of 16.0 inches to centimeters.
To convert inches to centimeters, we use the conversion factor that 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. So, to find the distance in centimeters, we multiply 16 inches by 2.54 cm/inch.
16.0 in × 2.54 cm/in = 40.64 cm.
Therefore, vertical studs that are placed 16.0 inches apart are 40.64 centimeters apart.
