If you have a line that is 2.5 inches in decimal, what is that in fraction form? 2 5/16 inches

2 1/4 inches

2 3/4 inches

2 1/2 inches

If you are asked to measure 9/16th on a ruler how many lines would you have to count?

2 1/2 inches; 9 lines

Explanation:

If one has a line that is 2.5 inches in decimal, this in fraction form will be written as:

= 2.5 inches = 2 5/10 inches.

When we reduce 5/10 to its lowest term, this will be 1/2. Therefore 2.5 inches = 2 1/2 inches.

Since each mark on a ruler is 1/16, therefore 9/16 will be (9/16 ÷ 1/16) = (9/16 × 16/1) = 9 lines
