the answer is 0.3125

Answer 2

Answer: Its conversion as a decimal is 0.3125.inch.

Size of a drill is given by

`(5)/(16)`

We need to change it in decimal:

First we change the denominator by multiplying 5 :

`(5)/(16)* (5)/(5)=(25)/(80)`

Now, we can write it as

`(25)/(8)* * (1)/(10)\\\\=(3.125)/(10)\\\\=0.3125\ inch`

Hence, its conversion as a decimal is 0.3125 inch.
