During the next-week procurement cycle at the radiology equipment platform, the drywall screws scope includes 287 gypsum-board sheets, with 42 fasteners per item. Boxes contain 1000 fasteners. How many boxes are needed?
Correct Answer
C) 13 boxes
Fastener boxes equal item count times fasteners per item divided by fasteners per box, rounded up.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Fastener boxes equal item count times fasteners per item divided by fasteners per box, rounded up.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 1 box
1 box is below the supported result for drywall screws; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option B: 10 boxes
10 boxes is below the supported result for drywall screws; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option D: 14 boxes
14 boxes is above the supported result for drywall screws; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
