Question

An estimator is preparing a bid for a home remodeling project. She has determined that the new garage needs 324 feet of 2​ × 10​ lumber; the new rec room requires 430​ feet; and the new upstairs bonus room needs 283 feet. How many feet of 2​ × 10 lumber will be​ needed?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 51.85 feet of 2 × 10 lumber will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of new garage = 324 feet

Length of new rec room = 430 feet

Length of upstairs bonus room = 283 feet

So, Total length would be

$324+430+283\\\\=1037\ feet$

Area of lumber = 2 × 10 = 20

so, Number of feet of 2 × 10 lumber would be

$\dfrac{1037}{20}\\\\=51.85\ feet$

Hence, there are 51.85 feet of 2 × 10 lumber will be needed.

Answer 2

Find area of lumber 2 x 10 = 20
garage needs 324 feet, rec room needs 430, bonus room needs 283
324 + 430 + 283 = 1037
1037/20= 51.85 feet of lumber

hope this helps
