A water tank's level is marked on a vertical number line in litres. Empty is 0 and full is 1. The level 5/8 full is marked. If the same scale instead uses 4 equal parts per unit, which mark is 5/8 closest to but does NOT exactly equal?

Question

Accepted Answer

3/4. 5/8 = 0.625. In quarters the marks are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0. The nearest is 0.75 = 3/4, but 5/8 is not equal to any quarter.

A water tank's level is marked on a vertical number line in litres. Empty is 0 and full is 1. The level $\frac{5}{8}$ full is marked. If the same scale instead uses 4 equal parts per unit, which mark is $\frac{5}{8}$ closest to but does NOT exactly equal?
