Question

Activity Warren's tape measure is marked in increments of 16 inch, not in decimal numbers. To measure the tiles, he needs to know the side lengths to to incħ. In this activity, you will convert decimal values to fractional values and then calculate the area of the tiles. the nearest Question 1 Part A The length of tile A is about 2.23607inches, which mark on the tape measure is closest to 2.23607inches? Remember, the tape measure is marked in sixteenths of an inch.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the fourth mark after 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

each tile measures 2.23607 inches long

That means that the mark will be 2 inches and somewhere in between the third and fourth mark. The third mark is equivalent to 0.1875 inches and the fourth mark is equivalent to 0.25 inches. The mark closest to the actual length of the tile would be the fourth mark after 2 inches.

each mark represents 1 / 16 = 0.0625 inches, if we divide 0.23607 by 0.0625 = 3.69072 marks which we can round to 4 marks
