A blueprint shows a hole of 0.3751 to be drilled. What fraction size drill bit is most nearly equal?
- 3/16
- 5/16
- 3/8
Explanation from PART66Online
Converting the fraction options to decimals: 3/8 = 0.375, 5/16 = 0.3125 and 3/16 = 0.1875. The required hole is 0.3751, which is almost exactly 0.375, so the 3/8 drill bit is the closest match.

3 divided by 16 equals 0.1875
5 divided by 16 equals 0.3125
3 divided by 8 equals 0.375
So 3/8 is most nearly equal.
5 divided by 16 equals 0.3125
3 divided by 8 equals 0.375

The fastest way for the exam is :
.3751/(1/16)= 6/16 = 3/8
.3751/(1/16)= 6/16 = 3/8

If the number start by zero therefor numerators must be less than the denominator.
