Question

If the outside diameter of a pipe is 1.25 ft and the inside diameter is 0.975 ft how thick is the pipe

Answer 1

See below
Answer: .1375

See explanation:


1.25-0.975=.275

Now since this gives you the difference between the outside diameter and the inside diameter it actual gives you 2 times the wall thickness. So we need to divide that by 2.

.275/2=.1375

So the wall thickness of the pipe is .1375

Answer 2

0.275

Explanation:

1.25-0.975=0.275
