Answer:
(d) 5/8 in
Explanation:
You want the measure indicated by the compass points in the figure.
Ruler marks
The largest mark between the end of the ruler and the mark labeled 1 is at the 1/2 inch point. The compass is to the right of that.
The mark halfway between the 1/2 inch mark and the 1 inch mark is 3/4 inches. The compass is to the left of that.
The mark halfway between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch is 5/8 inch. The compass seems to be nearer this mark than it is to the 1/2 inch mark.
The measure of the distance between compass points is about 5/8 inch.
