-The pitch of a screw is the distance between threads. With each complete rotation of the screw, it goes in or out a distance equal to its pitch. How far will a screw with a pitch of $\frac{1}{16}$ in. go into a piece of wood when it is turned 10 complete rotations clockwise?
A) $\frac{8}{5}$ in.
B) $\frac{1}{40}$ in.
C) $\frac{1}{160}$ in.
D) $\frac{5}{8}$ in.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The screw moves $\frac{1}{16}$ inch per rotation, so for 10 rotations, it moves $10 \times \frac{1}{16} = \frac{10}{16} = \frac{5}{8}$ inches into the wood.
