Question

Mr. Granville needs some plywood that is about __-inch thick. Which plywood is closest to __-Inch __?

Answer 1

Plywood thickness. One must choose the closest standard nominal size to the given measurement, but should be aware of the actual size, which may be slightly smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

The closest standard size of plywood to a specified thickness, measured in inches. When selecting plywood, it is commonly sold in nominal thicknesses such as 1/4-inch, 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, etc. To provide the closest thickness to the one mentioned in the question, one would need to know the exact measurement needed. If, for instance, the thickness required is closer to 1/2-inch, then typically one would choose the nominal 1/2-inch plywood.

The actual thickness can be slightly less than the nominal designation due to the manufacturing process, so it's important to check the specific product details or measure the plywood in-store when precision is critical.

Answer 2

Mr. Granville needs some plywood that is about 3/4-inch thick. Which plywood is closest to 3/4-Inch thick?

The answer is that the plywood option closest to 3/4-inch thick is ADX 13/16 in (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student performs a comparison operation to determine which option among the given plywood thicknesses closely matches the desired thickness of 3/4-inch. To solve this problem, the student needs to compare fractions and decimals to find the value closest to the target thickness of 3/4 inch. Remember that 3/4-inch can also be represented as 0.75 inches when converted to a decimal.

In this case, the option closest to 3/4-inch thick is ADX 13/16 in. The fraction 13/16, when converted to a decimal, is approximately 0.8125. This is slightly more than 3/4-inch (0.75) but closer to it than the other options listed.

Thus, the correct option is A.
