do i have to divide 1.6 by 11???

anonymous · Answer

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

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.
