How many 1x8x16 boards for 1000 square feet?

Answer 1

1 x 8 x 16 board has a thickness of 1 in, 8 in width, and 16 in length. To cover an area of 1000 square feet the thickness does not play a part, it is irrelevant. Need to convert 8 in and 16 in to feet.

8 in = 2/3 feet

16 in = 1 and 4/12 feet = 1 and 1/3 feet = 4/3 feet

Hence are of one board is (2/3) x (4/3) = 8/9 square feet

Therefore number of boards needed = (1000) / (8/9) = (1000 x 9) / 8 = 125 x 9 which is equal to 1125 boards

Answer 2

100
