Question

Suppose a​ carpenter's ruler was marked in​ thirty-seconds. What would be the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler between 29/32 and 30/32​?

Answer 1

the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler

= 59/64 = 0.921875

Explanation:

Given that;

A CARPENTER 's ruler is marked in thirty seconds

mark on the ruler between 29/32 and 30/32​ is the average of the values

we know that average is the summation of all terms divided by the number of appearance of terms

so

= (29/32 + 30/32​) / 2

= ((29 + 30) / 32) / 2

= (59 / 32) / 2

= 59 / 64

= 0.921875

therefore the fraction and its decimal equivalent for the mark on the ruler = 59/64 = 0.921875
