a) b) c) d)

Explanation:

Step1: Measure coin diameters

This requires using a measuring - tool to measure the diameter of each coin to the nearest $\frac{1}{16}$ of an inch. Since no actual measurement is provided here, we'll move on to the other parts.

Step2: Select appropriate measures for distances

a) A binder is relatively small, so 10 in. is a more reasonable measure for its width compared to 10 ft.
b) 1 foot = 12 inches. 10 ft = 120 inches. A wall is usually taller than 200 inches is more likely for a standard - height wall, so 10 ft is more appropriate.
c) A foot's length is much less than 10 ft, 1 ft is a more reasonable measure for the length of a foot.

Step3: Determine fractions on the ruler

Without seeing the actual markings on the ruler precisely, assume the ruler is divided into 16 equal parts (since we are working with sixteenths of an inch). Count the number of parts from 0 to the arrow to get the fraction. For example, if the arrow points to the 3rd mark after 0, the fraction is $\frac{3}{16}$.

1. (Measurements need to be done physically, no answer provided here)
2. a) 10 in.

b) 10 ft
c) 1 ft
