Question

Solve is it possible to have a pipe with an outside diameter of 5/8" and an inside diameter of 21/32"? The oustide diamater is 5/8" and the insdie diameter is 21/32". Give step by step solution to this problem

Answer 1

Not possible.

Explanation:

The outside diameter must be greater than the inside diameter.

5/8 - 21/32

The LCM of 8 and 32 is 32 so we have:

20/32 - 21/32

= -1/32

- so the outside is less than the inside diameter.

This is not possible.
