While preparing the next-week procurement cycle for the school band-room storage, the masonry anchors scope includes 49 veneer tie locations, with 1 fasteners per item. Boxes contain 250 fasteners. How many boxes are needed?

Correct Answer

D) 1 box

Fastener boxes equal item count times fasteners per item divided by fasteners per box, rounded up.

Answer Options
A
10 boxes
B
3 boxes
C
4 boxes
D
1 box

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: 10 boxes

10 boxes is above the supported result for masonry anchors; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option B: 3 boxes

3 boxes is above the supported result for masonry anchors; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option C: 4 boxes

4 boxes is above the supported result for masonry anchors; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to fastener, adjust for boxes, then let Field Engineer set the finish line.
