How do you figure quarter inch drop per foot?

Answer 1

Use a level which is at least a foot long. Hold the level in the horizontal level position, and measure the 1/4" drop from the position of the level which is one foot from the end. If you have a four foot level, and the space to use it, you can easily measure one inch of drop per four feet, which is the same as 1/4" per foot.

Answer 2

To calculate a quarter-inch drop per foot, you would divide 0.25 inches by 12 inches (since there are 12 inches in a foot). This would give you a drop of approximately 0.02083 inches per inch (or approximately 2.083%).

Answer 3

48 feet
