I'll be glad to check your answer.

James measures the length of a mask that he made in art class.it measure 6 3/4 inches.between which two inch marks on the ruler is his measurement?

6 and 7 inch

To determine where the book's measurement falls between two inch marks on the ruler, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by identifying the whole number part of the measurement. In this case, Catherine's book width is 3 1/2 inches, so the whole number part is 3.

2. Locate the inch mark on the ruler corresponding to the whole number part (in this case, 3 inches).

3. Next, focus on the fractional part of the measurement. Catherine's book width is 3 1/2 inches, and 1/2 is equal to half an inch.

4. Divide the space between two consecutive inch marks into halves (0.5 inches each) using the smaller subdivisions of the ruler. The half-inch marks are usually smaller and labeled as "1/2" or ".5" on the ruler.

5. Starting from the inch mark of 3, count half an inch (0.5 inches) towards the right side of the ruler.

6. The point where you land after counting half an inch represents the books' measurement on the ruler.

So, in this case, Catherine's book measurement of 3 1/2 inches will fall between the 3-inch mark and the 3 1/2-inch mark on the ruler.
