Question

directions: determine the measurement from zero to the marked point on each ruler to the nearest 1/16. be sure to put your answers in lowest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify ruler - mark positions

Count the number of 1/16 - inch intervals from 0 to the marked point on each ruler.

Step2: Simplify fractions

If the fraction representing the measurement is not in lowest - terms, simplify it.

For point A:
The mark is at the 10 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{10}{16}=\frac{5}{8}$ inches.

For point B:
The mark is at the 14 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7}{8}$ inches.

For point C:
The mark is at the 19 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{19}{16}=1\frac{3}{16}$ inches.

For point D:
The mark is at the 13 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{13}{16}$ inches.

For point E:
The mark is at the 21 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{21}{16}=1\frac{5}{16}$ inches.

For point F:
The mark is at the 30 - th 1/16 - inch mark after 0. So the measurement is $\frac{30}{16}=\frac{15}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}$ inches.

Answer:

A. $\frac{5}{8}$ inches
B. $\frac{7}{8}$ inches
C. $1\frac{3}{16}$ inches
D. $\frac{13}{16}$ inches
E. $1\frac{5}{16}$ inches
F. $1\frac{7}{8}$ inches
