Mr. Munoz has a 1/16 inch drill bit and a 3/32 inch drill bit. Which will make a bigger hole?
which is bigger, 2/32 or 3/32?
3/32
To determine which drill bit will make a bigger hole, we need to compare the sizes of 1/16 inch and 3/32 inch.
First, let's convert both fractions to a common denominator. The common denominator of 16 and 32 is 32.
To convert 1/16 inch to 32nd inch, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:
1/16 inch = (1 * 2) / (16 * 2) = 2/32 inch.
So, the 1/16 inch drill bit is equivalent to a 2/32 inch drill bit.
Now, let's compare 2/32 inch (from the 1/16 inch drill bit) with 3/32 inch. Since the denominators are the same, we can directly compare the numerators.
Since 3 is greater than 2, 3/32 inch is larger than 2/32 inch. Therefore, the 3/32 inch drill bit will make a bigger hole than the 1/16 inch drill bit.
