write one measurement that is between 3/16 inch and 7/8 inch on a ruler
Answer: \(\frac{5}{16}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find any measurement that is between two rational numbers, we need to follow the following steps:-
Step 1. Make the fractions like .
We multiply 2 on the numerator and denominator of \(\frac{7}{8}\), we get \(\frac{14}{16}\) which is a like fraction to \(\frac{3}{16}\)
Step 2. Compare the numerators and write the measurement between the fractions.
Since 5 is between 3 and 7 ,therefore, we can write \(\frac{4}{16},\frac{5}{16},\frac{6}{16}\) are rational numbers between the given rational number.
We can choose any of the fraction for the answer.
