Question

The wall is 12 feet long. They are placing studs every 18 inches. If there are studs on each end of the wall, how many studs will they place?

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet is 12 inches, so 12 feet is 12 * 12 = 144 inches.

If studs are placed 18 inches apart, in 144 inches, there will be:

$\frac{144}{18}=8$

But remember, there is a stud at the very beginning (at 0 feet).

So in total there are going to be 9 studs
