To find 66 1/2 inches to the nearest 8th, we first need to convert the fraction to an eighth form.
Since there are 2 eighths in a quarter and 8 eighths in a whole, we can convert the 1/2 fraction to an eighth by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 4:
1/2 * 4/4 = 4/8
Now we have 66 4/8 inches.
To find the nearest 8th, we need to look at the numerator, which is 4.
Since 4 is halfway between 0 and 8, we can round down to 0 if the numerator is less than 4, or round up to 8 if the numerator is greater than or equal to 4.
In this case, the numerator is 4 which is greater than or equal to 4, so we round up to the nearest 8th.
Therefore, 66 1/2 inches to the nearest 8th is 66 4/8 inches, which can be simplified to 66 1/2 inches.
