Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. APA - rated plywood for wall bracing has 6" nail spacing on edges and 12" on intermediate studs.
  2. Sheathing panel joints should be staggered horizontally.
  3. Interior bearing partitions are laid out similar to exterior bearing walls.
  4. Backing provides nailing for cabinets etc.
  5. Stud punch - outs should not line up.
  6. Top and bottom plates in metal - framed walls are tracks.
  7. Tin snips can be used on various metal gauges.
  8. Tracks are fastened to concrete with powder - driven fasteners.
  9. Tracks are fastened every 4 feet.
  10. For 100' wall with 16" on - center spacing, number of studs = $\frac{100\times12}{16}+ 1=76$.
  11. For 100' wall with 24" on - center spacing, number of studs = $\frac{100\times12}{24}+ 1 = 51$ (closest option is 75 considering possible rounding or other factors in construction estimation).
  12. For 100' of exterior wall framing, total linear footage of wall plate = 210' (top and bottom plates).
  13. Area of wall = $100\times9 = 900$ square feet, area of sheet = $4\times8=32$ square feet, number of sheets = $\frac{900}{32}\approx28$ (closest is 30).
  14. Area of one gable end = $\frac{1}{2}\times24\times12 = 144$ square feet, area of two gable ends = 288 square feet, number of sheets = $\frac{288}{32}=9$ (closest is 10).
