Woodsmith magazine gave instructions on how to build a pine cupboard. Lumber will be needed for two shelves 1134 inches long, two base sides 1112 inches long, and two door stiles 2918 inches long. Your lumber comes in 6 foot lengths. A. How many feet of lumber will you need? (Enter your fraction in lowest terms.)

Answer:

Hi there!

You'll need 860.67 feet of lumber.

Explanation:

First we calculate the needs of lumber in inches

Shelves: 2 x 1,134 = 2,268 inches

Base Sides: 2 x 1,112 = 2,224 inches

Door stiles: 2 x 2,918 = 5,836 inches

Total inches long of lumber needed:

2,268 + 2,224 + 5,836 = 10,328 inches

Then we convert the unit of measure from inches to feet:

One inch equals 0.08333 feet.

10,328 x 0.08333 = 860.67 feet
