While preparing the field-takeoff reconciliation for the laboratory exhaust chase, the partition run is 60 ft long and studs are placed at 4 ft on center, including one at the starting end. How many studs are needed?
Correct Answer
C) 16 studs
Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Count the spaces along the run, then include the starting item.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 15 studs
15 studs is below the supported result for metal stud layout; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option B: 17 studs
17 studs is above the supported result for metal stud layout; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 18 studs
18 studs is above the supported result for metal stud 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.
