a box has drill bits.sizes increase to 5/8 cm in steps of 1/16.how many drill bits are in box?

Question

this is a word problem in fraction.i need clear answers for this.

Answer 1

Assuming that the lowest is 1/16cm, the next would be 1/8cm, then 3/16cm. The largest is 5/8cm which is 10/16cm. So the drill bits range in size from 1 to 10 sixteenth of a cm. Therefore there must be 10 drill bits, assuming that no more than one in each size is needed.
