Question 169General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is A) 2 5/8 inches. The reading of 0.625 inch on a micrometer with a 2 to 3 inch range corresponds to 2 5/8 inches. This is because 0.625 inch is equivalent to 5/8 inch, and adding this to the 2 inch range of the micrometer gives the final measurement of 2 5/8 inches. The other options are incorrect because 2 7/16 inches is too small, 3 1/8 inches is too large, and 3 9/16 inches is also too large for a micrometer with a 2 to 3 inch range.
