Answer:
1 3/8 D
Step-by-step explanation:
The first and most obvious part of the answer is that the paper clip is at least 1 inch long. The question is how much longer?
It is between 1/4 of an inch and 1/2 of an inch. In fact it is exactly half way between them.
So that resembles an average.
(1/4 + 1/2)/2 = (1/4 + 2/4) / 2 = (3/4)/2
[tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{2} = \frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{2}{1} }[/tex]
Now the trick is to invert the denominator (make it 1/2) and multiply
3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8
