Question 1048234: Washers are "punched" from strips of sheet iron.
Washer description:
5/16" inside diameter.
3/4" outside diameter.
Iron description:
18 gauge.
3' length, 1" width.
Weighs 2 lbs. per sq. ft.
The first washer is "punched" 1/8" from the end, and each consecutive one is 1/16" apart.
Determine: 1) Weight of 1000 washers, 2) Number of full strips required.
Not sure how to solve. Thanks.

Find the area of each washer:
Area =~ 0.365087 sq inches
---
Area of 1000 washers = 365 sq inches = 365/144 = 2.535 sq feet
Weight of 1000 washers = area*2 = 5.07 pounds
----
Iron description:
18 gauge.
3' length, 1" width.
--------
3' = 36 inches.
36" - 1/8" = 35 7/8" = 287/8 inches = 574/16".
Center to center of washers is 3/4 + 1/16 = 13/16 inches
(574/16)/(13/16) = 44.15 --> 44 washers per sheet.
---------
If you mean sheets needed for 1000 washers:
1000/44 = 22.73 --> 23 sheets

PS Never heard of "sheet iron."
Sheet steel, but not sheet iron.
