Question

part i directions: determine the measurement of each line from start to end point to the nearest 1/16. be sure to put your answers in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify start - point

The start - point of the first line is at 1 inch.

Step2: Identify end - point

The end - point of the first line is at 3 + 10/16 inches.

Step3: Calculate length

Subtract start - point from end - point: $(3+\frac{10}{16})-1=2+\frac{10}{16}=2+\frac{5}{8}$ inches.

Step4: For second line

Start - point is at 1 + 2/16 inches, end - point is at 4 + 6/16 inches.

Step5: Calculate second - line length

$(4+\frac{6}{16})-(1+\frac{2}{16})=(4 - 1)+(\frac{6}{16}-\frac{2}{16})=3+\frac{4}{16}=3+\frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Answer:

First line: $2\frac{5}{8}$ inches; Second line: $3\frac{1}{4}$ inches
