Question

An auto mechanic converts a metric part to 0.473 in. The part comes only in fractional sized given to the nearest 64th of an inch. What would be the closest size?

Answer 1

30/64 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the converted metric part = 0.473 in.

Now, we know that:

`(1)/(64)=0.015625`

Therefore:

`(0.473)/(0.015625)=30.272\approx30`

Thus, we have that:

`0.473\approx(30)/(64)\text{ inch}`

To the nearest 64th of an inch, the closest size will be 30/64 inches.
