John needed to hang a picture he bought. He drilled a hole ⅜ inch in diameter. The nail he intended to use was 0.5 inch in diameter. Was the hole too small or too large? By how much
Respuestas
The hole was too small by 1/8 or 0.125 in
El agujero era demasiado pequeño por 1/8 o 0.125 pulg
Step by step explanation:
If we express the nail value in fractions of inches, this is equal to:
0.5 in = 1/2 "
Now if the hole that was made with the drill has a diameter of 3/8 ", in linear value it is
3/8 "= 0.375 in
We compare both values
Nail Hole
0.5 in > 0.375 in
The hole is very small, we calculate the difference:
0.5 in 0.375 in
0.125 in ⇒ 1/8 "
Explicación paso a paso:
Si expresamos el valor del clavo en fracciones de pulgadas, este es igual a:
0.5 pulg = 1/2"
Ahora si el agujero que se realizo con el taladro tiene un diámetro de 3/8", en valor lineal es
3/8" = 0.375 pulg
Comparamos ambos valores
Clavo Agujero
0.5 pulg > 0.375 pulg
El agujero es muy pequeño, calculamos la diferencia:
0.5 pulg 0.375 pulg
0.125 pulg ⇒ 1/8"
