Question

A mechanic had a bolt with a diameter of 2/9 inch. Will the bolt fit into a hole with a diameter of 0.2 inch.

Answer 1

No, the bolt won't fit into the hole

Explanation:

We need to convert the diameter of the bolt into decimal by dividing:

2/9 = 0.222...

The hole has diameter of 0.2

Hence, 0.222 is larger than 0.2, so the bolt won't fit.
