The mark on the tape measure that is closest to 3.16228 is 3.1875
<h3>How to determine the closest measure?</h3>
The measurement is given as:
Length = 3.16228
The tape measure is marked in sixteenths of an inch i.e 1/16 or 0.0625
So, we have the following range:
0.0625, 0.125, 0.1875, 0.25,.....
Rewrite the range as follows:
3.0625, 3.125, 3.1875, 3.25,.....
The length 3.1622 is between 3.125 and 3.1875.
The difference between the measurement and the range is
3.16228 - 3.125 = 0.03728
3.1875 - 3.16228 = 0.02522
0.02522 is smaller than 0.03728
Hence, the mark on the tape measure that is closest to 3.16228 is 3.1875
