Practice makes perfect
We need a wrench that is smaller than a 78-inch wrench, but larger than a 34-inch wrench. We have the following sizes.
3/8inch, 5/8inch, 13/16inch, 15/16inch
To be able the compare the sizes, we will write them with a common denominator. We will make all denominators 16.
7/8 ⇔ 7* 2/8* 2 = 14/16 [1.1em]
3/4 ⇔ 3* 4/4* 4 = 12/16
We need a wrench whose size is between 78= 1416 and 34= 1216. Let's find which of the following is between them.
Size
Expand Fraction
Interval
3/8inch
3 * 2/8* 2= 6/16
6/16 < 12/16 < 14/16
5/8inch
5 * 2/8* 2= 10/16
10/16 < 12/16 < 14/16
13/16inch
-
12/16 < 13/16 < 14/16 âś“
15/16inch
-
12/16<14/16< 15/16
As we can see, we need a 1316-inch wrench. The answer is H.
