Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.

Answer Options
A
19 anchor bolts
B
18 anchor bolts
C
20 anchor bolts
D
21 anchor bolts

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 18 anchor bolts

18 anchor bolts is below the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 20 anchor bolts

20 anchor bolts is above the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option D: 21 anchor bolts

21 anchor bolts is above the supported result for anchor-bolt layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to count, adjust for spaces, then let Foreman Checks set the finish line.
