Question

Find the length of each line segment or object to the nearest half or fours or eighth inch

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $1\frac{1}{8} in.$

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there,

< There are 8 marks between 1 in. and 2 in. and here we can see that the distance of the line goes only up to the first mark.

Imagine this like a pizza that's divided into 8, but you only took 1 slice. That means you took only $\frac{1}{8}$ of the pizza. It is the same here on the ruler.

It's not only 1/8 though because we also have to add in the first inch. After that inch, we also have 1/8 of an inch. So $1\frac{1}{8}$ in. would be your final answer. >
