2+15=17

15.7+117.8=133.5

Oh heck, were back to how many decimal places to show

Excellent!

The other option is a refresher in linear regression theory.

Take it to a machinist and have him fly-cut it down to 15mm.

That's too complicated. 157 x 17/20 ≈ 133.4

Several possibilities:

  • Weigh a sample of the 17mm plate and pro-rata the weight to the area of the sample
  • Add the weight values for 15mm plate and 2mm plate together
  • Interpolate between the 15mm and the 20mm plate values in the table
  • Phone the supplier of the 17mm plate, and ask
