Question

Convert the following dimensions from Civil/survey lengths to Architectural lengths

Converted dimensions must be to the nearest 1/8”.

1. 44.21’                                           6.   7.08’

2. 28.36’                                            7.   31.19’

3. 52.45’                                            8.   18.83’

4. 100.79’                                          9.   66.66’

5. 80.24’                                            10. 94.98’

Answer 1

1/8 =0.125 of inch

we will use nearest 'multiples of 0.125

i.e, 0.125 =1/8

0.25= 1/4,

0.375=3/8

0.5=1/2

0.625=5/8

0.75=3/4

0.875=7/8

we will round the decimal portion to nearest 1/8 of inch

*

44.21'

0.21*12=2.52" =

Thus 44.21' = 44'

*

28.36'

0.36*12 =4.32"=

Thus 28.36'= 28'

*

52.45'

0.45*12 =5.4" =

Thus 52.45'=52'

*

100.79'

0.79*12=9.48"=

Thus 100.79'=100'

*

80.24'

0.24*12 =2.88"=

Thus 80.24'= 80'

*

7.08'= 0.96"= 1"

Thus 7.08" = 7'1"

*

31.19'

0.19*12 =2.28" =

Thus 31.19' = 31'

*

18.83'

0.83*12 =9.96" =10"

Thus 18.83'= 18'10"

*

66.66'

0.66*12=7.92"=

Thus 66.66'= 66'

*

94.98' =

0.98*12= 11.76"=

Thus 94.98' =94'
