Question

1. a concrete foundation requires 58 two - foot panels, 6 12” fillers, and 2 bulkhead panels for each section. the total wall is to be built in eight sections. how many panels are required? 13. a metal stud partition contains 5 pieces of wall tract for the bottom and top. if a similar wall is required on each floor of the 40 story building, how much wall tract needs to be ordered? note each wall requires 5 pieces for the bottom and 5 pieces for the top of the wall.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total panels for concrete foundation

First, find the total number of panels for one - section of the concrete foundation. There are 58 two - foot panels, 6 12 - inch fillers, and 2 bulkhead panels for each section. So the number of panels in one section is $58 + 6+2=66$. Since there are 8 sections, the total number of panels for the concrete foundation is $66\times8 = 528$.

Step2: Calculate wall - tract for metal stud partition

For each floor of the metal stud partition, each wall needs 5 pieces for the bottom and 5 pieces for the top, so each floor needs $5 + 5=10$ pieces of wall tract. The building has 40 floors, so the total number of wall - tract pieces to be ordered is $10\times40 = 400$.

Answer:

1. 528
2. 400
