Answer:
1.49875 inches
Explanation:
First, we need to convert the width of 1 15/32 inches to decimal as follows
[tex]1\frac{15}{32}\text{ = 1+}\frac{15}{32}=1+0.46875=1.46875\text{ inches}[/tex]Then, Since it will have a copper plating of 0.015 inches, the width will increase by twice this measure, so the new width will be
1.46875 + 2(0.015) = 1.49875 inches
Therefore, the answer is 1.49875 inches
