200 --------- Correct Answer --------- 16. Formula: (Number of pieces x Height x Width x Length in feet) / 12" = Board feet (2 pieces x 5/4 x 10 x 8) / 12" = 800/48 = 16.67 Board feet Note: Change 1 1/4" to a fraction which is 5/ You are responsible for the grading and excavation on the work site. Your level (transit) reads 6.4 ft on a leveling rod that has been set up on top of a benchmark that has a given elevation of 100.0 ft. The finish grade as shown on the blueprints is 96.80 ft.
