Answer:

The amount of space taken up on the sign by the letters in Hanna's name is between 3 and 4

Explanation:

Hannah's name has 6 letters

We are given that each letter occupies [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] inch of space on the sign

Therefore:

Total space occupied by the six letters = spec occupied by 1 letter × 6

Total space occupied by the six letters = [tex]\frac{5}{8} * 6 = \frac{15}{4}[/tex] in

Now, [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] written as decimal is 3.75

3.75 is more than 3 and less than 4

It lies between the two whole numbers 3 and 4

This means that:

The amount of space taken up on the sign by the letters in Hanna's name is between 3 and 4

Hope this helps :)
