ANDY PUT DOWN 1/14 INCH THICK SUBFLOORING.nEXT HE NAILED DOWN 3/16 INCH THICK UNDERLAY.ON TOP OF THAT , HE NAILED DOWN 4/14 INCH THICK HARDWOOD FLOORING.hAW THICK WAS THE RESULT?
1/14 = 16/224
3/16 = 42/224
4/14 = 64/224
The sum of these measurements = 122/224 = 61/112 inch
Ratio of 23 nickele to 27 dimes
To find the total thickness of the layers, you need to add the thicknesses of each layer together.
Andy put down the following layers:
1/14 inch thick subflooring (first layer)
3/16 inch thick underlay (second layer)
4/14 inch thick hardwood flooring (third layer)
To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 14.
1/14 inch + 3/16 inch + 4/14 inch
To add the fractions, you first need to convert them to have a common denominator:
1/14 inch = 1*(16/16)/14 = 16/224 inch
3/16 inch = 18/224 inch
4/14 inch = 16/224 inch
Now we can add the fractions:
16/224 inch + 18/224 inch + 16/224 inch = 50/224 inch
Since 50/224 cannot be simplified further, we can keep it as an improper fraction or convert it to a mixed number.
50/224 inch can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
50/224 inch = (50 ÷ 2) / (224 ÷ 2) inch = 25/112 inch
So, the resulting thickness of the layers is 25/112 inch.
