Answer:
Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
Step-by-step explanation:
* The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats
- To know who is right lets change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number
∵ 5/8 means 5 ÷ 8
- 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and
insert decimal point in the quotient (answer of division)
∴ It will be 50 ÷ 8 = 6 and remainder 2/8 ⇒ 1/4
∴ The quotient = 0.6 and remainder 1/4
- 1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 4 = 2 and remainder 2/4 ⇒ 1/2
∴ The quotient = 0.62 and remainder 1/2
- 1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without remainder
∴ The quotient = 0.625
* Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
