From the 3 options listed, both 5.25 in and 6.5 in could be measures found using a ruler with eighth inches marked, because those decimals can be written in terms of eighth fractions.

5.25 $in $ \rightarrow (5 + 0.25) $in $ \rightarrow (5 +  \frac{2}{8} ) $in$ \\ 
6.5 $in $ \rightarrow (6 + 0.5) $in $ \rightarrow (5 +  \frac{4}{8} ) $in$

The other option, 7.1 in, is not a possibility because 0.1 cannot be written as a fraction of 8 that is marked on the ruler.

4n+1=25<br>Please help with an explanation ​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate n, subtract 1 from both sides:

4n + 1 = 25

4n = 24

Then divide by 4 on both sides:

4n = 24

n = 6

Hope this helped :)
