    The jaws indicated by the red arrow are used for what type of measurement? - ProProfs

    The jaws indicated by the red arrow are used for what type of measurement?

    • Outside diameter

    • Step measurement

    • Angle Measurement

    • Inside Diameter

    • Whole depth

    Correct Answer
    A. Inside Diameter
    Explanation
    The jaws indicated by the red arrow are used for measuring the inside diameter of an object. These jaws are designed to fit into the inner part of the object being measured, allowing for an accurate measurement of its internal diameter.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is not a measurement that you can perform with the dial caliper? 

    • Outside diameter/thickness

    • Inside diameter

    • Depth

    • Angle

    • Step

    Correct Answer
    A. Angle
    Explanation
    The dial caliper is a precision measuring tool used to measure dimensions such as outside diameter, inside diameter, thickness, depth, and step. However, it cannot measure angles. Angles are typically measured using a protractor or an angle measuring tool.

    Is this an englich scale or a metric scale? - ProProfs

    Is this an englich scale or a metric scale?

    • English

    • Metric

    Correct Answer
    A. Metric
    Explanation
    The given answer "Metric" is the correct answer because the question is asking whether the scale is English or metric. The term "metric" refers to the metric system of measurement, which is widely used internationally and includes units such as meters, kilograms, and liters. Therefore, the answer indicates that the scale being referred to uses the metric system of measurement.

    • Dial indicator

    • Dial caliper

    • Engineering scale

    Correct Answer
    A. Dial caliper
    Explanation
    A dial caliper is the most versatile precision measuring tool because it can measure both inside and outside dimensions accurately. It has a dial gauge that provides precise readings, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, a dial caliper can also measure depth and step dimensions, further enhancing its versatility.

    If I have 41 eggs how many dozens do I have?

    • 3.6 dozen

    • 4.2 dozen

    • 3.4 dozen

    • 492 dozen

    • 2.5 dozen

    Correct Answer
    A. 3.4 dozen
    Explanation
    If you have 41 eggs and want to know how many dozens you have, you can divide 41 by 12 (since there are 12 eggs in a dozen). The result is 3.4166, which can be rounded to 3.4. Therefore, you have 3.4 dozen eggs.

    A. 2.992 inches
    Explanation
    To convert millimeters to inches, divide the value by 25.4 since there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch. Therefore, to convert 76mm to inches, divide 76 by 25.4 which equals 2.992 inches.
