Final answer:
To calculate the total board feet for 10 pieces of 1"x12"x10' lumber, multiply the board feet for one piece (10) by the number of pieces (10), resulting in 100 board feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total number of board feet you have with 10 pieces of lumber, each measuring 1"x12"x10' long, you need to use the formula for calculating board feet which is:
Board feet = (Thickness in inches) x (Width in inches) x (Length in feet) / 12
Using the given dimensions for one piece of lumber, we have:
Board feet for one piece = (1) x (12) x (10) / 12
This simplifies to 10 board feet for one piece of lumber. Since there are 10 pieces,
Total board feet = 10 pieces x 10 board feet per piece
The total is 100 board feet for all 10 pieces of lumber.
