The tail on Alex's dog is 5 1/4 inches long this like this between which 2 inch March on a ruler
What is the question?
I think rainy is reiny
I think reiny is right
My ruler is marked in inches not months.
On mine the 2 inch marks would be 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
and 5 1/4 = 5.25, so where do you think it will fall ?
To determine the interval on a ruler between which the tail length lies, we can convert 5 1/4 inches into a decimal or fractional measurement in inches. Then, we can identify the two inch marks between which the converted length falls.
First, let's convert the mixed number 5 1/4 to a fractional or decimal form. We can add the whole number part (5) to the fractional part (1/4) as follows:
5 + 1/4 = 20/4 + 1/4 = 21/4
Now, let's express this result in decimal form. To do this, we divide the numerator (21) by the denominator (4):
21 ÷ 4 = 5.25
Therefore, the tail length of Alex's dog is equivalent to 5.25 inches.
Since we are looking for the two-inch marks between which the tail length falls, we can round down and round up the converted length to the nearest whole number. In this case, rounding down 5.25 gives us 5 inches, and rounding up gives us 6 inches.
Hence, the tail length of Alex's dog lies between the two-inch marks on a ruler labeled "5" and "6".
