Question

practice

1. measure the following lines to the nearest 1/16\ of an inch:

a)
b)
c)

1. draw a line for each length listed.

a) 2 3/4\
b) 1 5/8\
c) 7/16\
part b: imperial conversions

distance	mass
1 yard = 3 feet	2000 pounds = 1 ton
1 mile = 1760 yards
1 mile = 5280 feet

if you are converting in the order of the chart, multiply. ex: ft to in, x 12
if you are converting in the opposite direction, divide ex. in to ft, ÷ 12
examples

1. 84\ is ______________ feet

84 ÷ 12 inches per foot = 7 feet
so... 84in is 7 ft.

Explanation:

Step1: Measure lines

Use a ruler marked in six - teenths of an inch to measure the lines in part 1. Since no actual measurement values are provided for the lines in part 1 (a), (b), (c) in the text, we can't give specific numerical answers for that part. For part 2, to draw the lines:

Step2: Draw 2 3/4 inches line

Convert $2\frac{3}{4}$ to six - teenths. $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}=\frac{44}{16}$ inches. Use a ruler to draw a line of length $\frac{44}{16}$ inches.

Step3: Draw 1 5/8 inches line

Convert $1\frac{5}{8}$ to six - teenths. $1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}=\frac{26}{16}$ inches. Use a ruler to draw a line of length $\frac{26}{16}$ inches.

Step4: Draw 7/16 inches line

Use a ruler to draw a line of length $\frac{7}{16}$ inches.

Answer:

For part 1, measurements depend on actual ruler use. For part 2:
a) Draw a line $\frac{44}{16}$ inches long.
b) Draw a line $\frac{26}{16}$ inches long.
c) Draw a line $\frac{7}{16}$ inches long.
