Question

How many 12 Feet 2 x 4 would be needed for Bottom Plates and Double Top Plates on a Building 25' x 50' ?

Answer 1

Your question has confusing details. So, I will rephrase as:

How many 2' x 4' would be needed for Bottom Plates and Double Top Plates on a Building 25' x 50' ?

Answer:

12.5 plates

Explanation:

Given

Building dimension:

`Length = 25ft`

`Width = 50ft`

Plates

`Length = 2ft`

`Width= 4ft`

To do this, we have to divide the dimension of the building by the dimension of the plates

So, we have:

`n = (Length\ of\ Building)/(Length\ of\ Plates)`

and

`n = (Width\ of\ Building)/(Width\ of\ Plates)`

For the length, we have:

`n = (25)/(2)`

`n = 12.5`

For the width, we have:

`n = (50)/(4)`

`n = 12.5`

So, 12.5 of the plates are needed
