Question

The tail on alex dog is 51/4 inches long. this length is between which two inch-marks on a ruler?

Answer 1

5 1/4 inches is between 5 and 6 on the ruler because 5 1/4 is a little more than 5 inches and less than 6 inches.

Answer 2

As it is written, the correct answer would be:

Between 12 and 13 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing 51 by 4, we see that 4 goes into 51 12 times. This makes the whole number 12. 12*4 = 48, which leaves 3 left over; this will be the numerator. This means 51/4 = 12 3/4. This would be between 12 and 13 inches.
