Problem 85

Solve these problems about lumber dimensions.
(a) To describe to a European how houses are constructed in the US, the dimensions of "two-by-four" lumber must be converted into metric units. The thickness $\times$ width $\times$ length dimensions are 1.50 in. $\times 3.50$ in. $\times 8.00 \mathrm{ft}$ in the US. What are the dimensions in $\mathrm{cm} \times \mathrm{cm} \times \mathrm{m} ?$
(b) This lumber can be used as vertical studs, which are typically placed 16.0 in. apart. What is that distance in centimetres?
