How many sixteenths are in 3/8 of an inch?

Correct Answer
6, six

Explanation
To find out how many sixteenths are in 3/8 of an inch, we need to convert 3/8 into sixteenths. Since there are 16 sixteenths in one whole inch, we can multiply 3/8 by 16/1 to get the answer. Multiplying the numerators gives us 3x16=48, and multiplying the denominators gives us 8x1=8. Therefore, 3/8 of an inch is equal to 48/8 or 6 sixteenths.
