Question

Jack needs a piece of wood 13/16 inch long for some detail work on a project. Which of the following lengths of wood would meet his requirements?

1/2 inch 7/8 inch 3/4 inch 27/32 inch 5/8 inch??

Answer 1

7/8 inch

Explanation:

13/16 inch = 0.8125 inch

1/2 inch = 0.5 inch

7/8 inch = 0.875 inch

3/4 inch = 0.75 inch

5/8 inch = 0.625 inch

7/8 inch is the only length that provides more than the length needed. Any of the other options would not have had enough wood.
