A wood framing estimator needs to calculate the number of studs required for a building with exterior walls totaling 200 linear feet. The studs will be spaced 16 inches apart. How many studs should be estimated?

Wood framing estimators first convert the spacing to feet: 16 inches is about 1.33 feet. Then, they divide the wall length by the spacing to find the number of studs:
200 feet ÷ 1.33 feet ≈ 150.38.

Rounding up, wood framing estimators would estimate 151 studs for the project.
