Question

A stack of 2/5 inch wide sheetrock has a height of 20 2/5 inch.How many sheets are in the stack? Please explain how to solve this.

Answer 1

Well, when it comes to math, I gotta admit, I'm not the smartest cookie in the cookie jar, but if you take 20 2/5 and divide it by 2/5, you should be left with the number of sheets of sheetrock there are in the stack. To divide it, you my have to convert the fraction to a decimal, just FYI. Considering this is marked as a college-level question, I assume you already know how to do this. Hope this helps ya, pal.
