Question

You weld two piece's of steel together. The toral thickness is 33/64 inch. If one piece of steel is 9/32 inch thick, how thick the other piece​

Answer 1

Subtract the thickness of the known piece from the total thickness.

Because they have different denominators rewrite them to have the same.

9/32 x 2 = 18/64

Now you have 33/64 - 18/64 = 15/64

The other piece is 15/64 inch thick.
