Answered by Richard
How do you account for the 1/16 inch cuts?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The saw is probably about 1/16-inch-thick -- therefore you'll have some waste.
Answered by Richard
Would you add the 1/16 inch to the 8 1/2 inch to account for each cut and then divide by the 32 FT 10 1/2 inch? or what? I'm confused on how to go about doing the problem.
