Three switches are to be installed in a panel. The switches are each 21/2 inches wide. There will be 11/4 inches clearance between switches and 37/8 inches between any switch and the edge of the box. How wide is the box?

3*(2 1/2) + 2*(1 1/4) + 2*(3 7/8) =
= 3*(3/2) + 2*(5/4) + 2*(31/8) = 14.75 in = 14 3/4 in
The box should be 14 3/4 in or 14.75 inches wide.
