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 a la pregunta
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"
