A straight 32 ft partition has studs at 16 in. on center, with a stud at each end and no openings. What stud count should be carried for the run?
Correct Answer
C) 25 studs
The run is 32 x 12 = 384 in. At 16 in. spacing, 384/16 = 24 spaces; with studs at both ends, count spaces plus one, so 25 studs. Other choices omit an end stud, add an extra bay, or use a shorter spacing.
