You have a 5/16 in. drill bit. Will it drill a hole large enough to fit a 5 mm bolt? Show two different ways to answer this question. Explain your thinking.
I couldn't even figure out the first way. Please help!

1 inch = 2.54 cm
then 5/6 inches = (5/16)(2.54) cm
= appr .794 cm
= 7.94 mm , yes it will fit but very loosely
2nd way
2.54 cm = 1 inch
1 cm = 1/2.54
10 mm = 1/2.54 inches
5 mm = 1/5.08 inche = appr .1969 inches
which is less than 5/16 inches
so it will fit, but just as loose as before.
