Question

convert 10.25mm to the nearest inch drill size?

a \\(\frac{23}{64}\\)

b \\(\frac{27}{64}\\)

c \\(\frac{13}{32}\\)

d \\(\frac{11}{32}\\)

Explanation:

Convert millimeters to decimal inches

$$ 10.25 \text{ mm} \div 25.4 \text{ mm/inch} \approx 0.40354 \text{ inches} $$

Convert decimal inches to fractional inches with a denominator of 64

$$ 0.40354 \times 64 = 25.82656 \approx 26 $$
$$ \frac{26}{64} \text{ inches} = \frac{13}{32} \text{ inches} $$

Compare fractional values to find the closest match

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$
$$ |0.40354 - 0.40625| = 0.00271 \text{ (smallest difference)} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{23}{64}''\)
  • (B) \(\frac{27}{64}''\)
  • (C) \(\frac{13}{32}''\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(\frac{11}{32}''\)
