QuestionA customer wants as many $61 / 4^{\prime \prime}$ pieces of $1 / 2$'' roundstock from a 48'' piece. How many can you provide?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the number of pieces. Since we cannot provide a fraction of a piece, we round down to the nearest whole number.
$$Number\, of\, pieces =48 /15.25 =3.14 \approx3$$We can deliver3 pieces of roundstock.
