Question

a wiring job requires 29 outlets to be spaced equally over 336 ft one outlet is placed at the beginning of the 336 ft and one at the end find the center to center distance between the outlets

Answer 1

Answer: 12 feet.

Explanation:

1. You know that:

- 29 outlets to be spaced equally over 336 feet.

- There is one at the beginning of the 336 feet and one at the end.

2. Therefore the total number of spaces is:

`n-1`

Where
`n` is the total number of oulets. So you have:

`n-1=29-1=28`

There are 28 spaces.

3. You must divide 336 feet by the number of spaces. Then, you obtain the following result:

`distance=(336ft)/(28)=12ft`
