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"
