Answer 1

`9(1)/(4)` inches and 23.5 cm

Explanation:

A student uses ruler to measure the length of their foot.

Given measurements are,

`9(1)/(4)` inches

`9(5)/(64)` inches

23.47659 cm

23.5 cm

23.48 cm

Most appropriate measurement that we can measure by a ruler is up to single decimal place.

Inches can be measured appropriately in quarters or halves also.

Therefore,
