Question

linda martinez designs emblems for theaters and needs to measure the embroidery area, pictured in green below. note: the drawing is not the actual size of the item being measured. use the ruler markings along the bottom and side of the drawing to do your measurement. question: what are the height and width of the green embroidery area to the nearest sixteenth of an inch? write your answers as reduced mixed numbers (for example, 5 8/16 should be written as 5 1/2). height: blank

Explanation:

Step1: Measure height (top ruler)

The height ruler shows the green area ends at $1 \frac{4}{16}$ inches. Simplify $\frac{4}{16}$ to $\frac{1}{4}$, so height is $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Step2: Measure width (side ruler)

The width ruler shows the green area ends at $3 \frac{4}{16}$ inches. Simplify $\frac{4}{16}$ to $\frac{1}{4}$, so width is $3 \frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Answer:

Height: $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches
Width: $3 \frac{1}{4}$ inches
