Alfonso used 11 identical stones to form a path that was 1.6 meters long. To the nearest thousandth of a meter, how long was each of the stones? Thanks!!!

do i have to divide 1.6 by 11???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divided 1.6 by 11 and I got .145 with the 45 repeating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but realistically, if the path is only measured to the nearest tenth of a meter, getting precision of ±1 millimeter is impossible.

???

Plus, there will necessarily be gaps between each stone . . Never mind. Yes, your answer is correct; just round it to the thousandth's place.
