ok say the conductivity was 1.430 and the thickness was 0.012.and i divide 1.430 by .012 and get 119.16666667
but the answer is .00839??
what am i doin wrong

I have no idea what subject or what you are on about but
.012/1.43 - the answer .0839

Groinshot · 20-03-2010 06:22PM

its physics, and as someone said, .012/1.43 is .839

ciano1 · 20-03-2010 06:43PM

Its construction..

In Physics you dont actually have to calculate U-Value, Only know the definition

Is it a question from the exam papers??? if so what year and i'll have a look at it

jeese they are trying to help and you couldn't be any less grateful

do you expect them to route through the entire paper now to find it for you?

and not one word of thanks to anyone who has helped so far

You're just dividing the wrong thing
Thickness is always the first thing to go into the calculator.
