Adding and Subtracting Proper Fractions - CYU

1) The document provides examples of adding and subtracting fractions. It gives fraction addition and subtraction statements corresponding to shaded portions in diagrams. 2) Questions are asked to add and subtract fractions with answers provided. 3) The document defines nominal thickness and actual thickness for plywood. It states the actual thickness is typically 1/32 inches less than the nominal thickness and provides an example to determine the actual thickness of a sheet of plywood rated at a nominal thickness of 5/8 inches.

7) There are two definitions for the thickness of plywood. The nominal
thickness is the thickness before the sheet is sanded, whereas the actual
1
thickness is the thickness after sanding. The actual thickness is typically
32
inches less than the nominal thickness. Determine the actual thickness of a
5
sheet of plywood rated at a nominal thickness of inches.
