Respuesta :
Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats.
Given that,
Lena found a 5/8-carat diamond ring in the parking lot and turned it into the police.
Afterward, her friends discussed the weight of the diamond in terms of decimal numbers.
Lena said it weighed 0.275 carats, but Sheldon thought it was closer to 0.58 carats.
Naomi predicted the ring weighed 0.625 carats, but Mark disagreed and said 0.8 carats.
Paula went with 0.875 carats.
We have to determine,
Who had the correct measurement?
According to the question,
The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats,
To find who had the correct measurement,
Let's change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number
Here, 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and insert a decimal point in the quotient (answer of division),
This It will become,
[tex]= \dfrac{5}{8} \times 10\\\\= \dfrac{50}{8} \\[/tex]
The quotient is 0.6 and the remainder b
1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10,
This will become,
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{4} \times 10\\\\=\dfrac{10}{4}[/tex]
The quotient is 0.62 and remainders 1/2,
1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10,
This will become,
[tex]= \dfrac{10}{2}\\\\= 5[/tex]
The quotient is 0.625 and the remainder is 0.
Hence, Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats.
