 11. Why am I not getting the correct answer?

Boardfoot Calculator allows you use the nominal dimensions of the lumber. For example, a surfaced piece of 1 X 4 stock may actually measure 3/4" X 3-1/2" but you would still enter 1 for the thickness and 4 for the width. Using the preferences you can configure Boardfoot Calculator to round dimensions for you, in this case dimensions are rounded up to the next whole inch.
