If the smaller hole is very narrow and the larger one is very loose, a size which the diameter of the hole could have that best fits the requirements is: C. 7/8 inch.
What is measurement?
In Mathematics and Geometry, a measurement can be defined as an act or process through which the size, weight, magnitude, quantity, volume (capacity), dimensions, or distance traveled by a physical object or body is taken, especially for the purpose of an experiment.
Assuming small holes of 3/4 and 1 inch in diameters are made on a metal plate, and we realize that the 3/4 inch hole is very narrow and the 1 inch hole is very loose, a standard measurement and size that the diameter would be an intermediate value is given by;
3/4 = 12/16
12/16, 13/16, 14/16, 15/16, ......, 1
Required size = 14/16 = 7/8 inch.

Complete Question:
Two holes with diameters of 3/4 inch and 1 inch, respectively, have been drilled on a metal sheet. If the smaller hole is very narrow and the larger one is very loose, what size could the diameter of the hole have that best fits the requirements?
