Question $7(1$ point$)$

Studs in a framed wall are placed $16"$ inches apart. A sloped wall presents a challenge

in that the distance $(L)$ between studs along the top plate is longer. If the top plate

has a slope of $\frac{x}{12},$ calculate distance $L$ so that the stud layout can be marked on

the top plate when $x=4.$

Round your answer to the nearest $16$th of an inch $($simplify if possible$).$ Hint: First use

the slope to calculate the rise for a $16"$ run.
