During the field-takeoff reconciliation at the stormwater-lift-station yard, the finished floor area for temporary floor protection is 9000 SF. With 12% waste and 40 SF per sheet or panel, how many sheets are required?
Correct Answer
B) 252 sheets
Sheet count equals area with waste divided by coverage per sheet or panel, rounded up.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Sheet count equals area with waste divided by coverage per sheet or panel, rounded up.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 225 sheets
225 sheets is below the supported result for temporary floor protection; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 126 sheets
126 sheets is below the supported result for temporary floor protection; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option D: 256 sheets
256 sheets is above the supported result for temporary floor protection; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
Measure to sheet, adjust for count, then let Carpenter Checks set the finish line.
