3/16= 12/64
a= 10/64
b=20/64
c=13/64
d=28/64
well, a is smaller, b is larger, c is larger, and d is larger, so we have B C D to work with. you can tell C is the smallest of the group B C D

C is the smallest that is still larger than 3/16

Which mark on the tape measure is closest to 2.23607 inches?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

  5.7 cm or 2 1/4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Your tape measure is not shown.

  On my tape measure, 5.7 cm is the closest mark. On the inch scale, 2 1/4 inches is the next-closest mark.

_____

On a tape measure graduated in 1/32 inch between 2 and 3 inches, you can find the closest mark by rounding to the nearest 32nd:

  2.23607 × 32 ≈ 71.55 ≈ 72 --- 32nds of an inch

  72/32 = 2 1/4 . . . . the closest mark on an inch ruler graduated in 32nds

__

For a ruler graduated in millimeters, you can find the closest millimeter in the same way. There are 25.4 mm to the inch.

  2.23607 in × 25.4 mm/in ≈ 56.80 mm ≈ 57 mm

  57 mm = 5.7 cm . . . closest mark on metric scale

__

When we check the error, we find the metric mark is closer than the inch mark.

  5.7 cm ≈ 2.24409 in . . . . error of 0.00802 in

  2 1/2 in = 2.25000 in . . . error of 0.01393 in
