A carpenter needs to cut four sections, each 3-feet 8-inches long, from a piece of
molding. If the board is only sold by the foot, what's the shortest length of board she can
buy?
A. 15 feet
B. 14 feet
C. 16 feet
D. 12 feet -ANSWER - Answer: A)15
Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches equals 44 inches (12 inches per
foot × 3 feet = 36 inches + 8 inches = 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs
to be) × 4 (number of sections needed) = 176 inches (total molding needed). To
determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by
dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 142⁄3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15
feet.
150 centimeters is equivalent to:
A. 1 meter
B. 1 1⁄2 meters
C. 750 millimeters
D. 1 yard -ANSWER - Answer: B
100 centimeters equal 1 meter, so 150 centimeters equal 1 1⁄2 meters.
