Guide Questions

1. What are the steps in taking dimensions? Measure all three aspects--the length, width and height--of an object to get a three-dimensional measurement.

2. What is the formula in measuring the board foot of a lumber? Board footage is calculated by multiplying the nominal thickness in inches (T) by the nominal width in inches (W) by the actual length in feet (L) and dividing by 12. The formula is: T x W x L = Board ft.

3. Why is it necessary to understand and apply the conversion of the two

systems of measurement?  Assist in solving a mathematical problem, especially in chemistry, where you can follow the units to get to the answer. Show which measurement system the person is using (i.e. metric or standard)

4. What is the importance of converting fractions to decimals and vice versa?

Sometimes it is easier to work with fractions than to work with decimals. It is therefore important to learn how to change decimals into fractions.
