Question

A 1/2 inch drill bit is too large for a job, while a 3/8 inch bit is too small. What size bit should be tried next?

7/16
*** 5/16 ****
3/16
9/16

is this correct

Answer 1

Nope. You need to convert the drill-bit sizes to 16th of an inch.

A 1/2-inch drill bit is 8/16 inch. The 3/8-inch bit is 6/16 inch. Which of your choices is between 6/16 and 8/16?

Well, you know what they say, when it comes to drill bits, size really does matter! In this case, since 1/2 inch is too large and 3/8 inch is too small, I think it's time to try something in-between. So, the next size bit you should try is 7/16 inch. But hey, don't feel bad, it's not about the size, it's how you use it!

Yes, the correct size bit to try next would be 5/16 inch. To determine this, we need to choose a bit that is larger than 3/8 inch (too small) but smaller than 1/2 inch (too large). Looking at the options given, 5/16 inch is the only size that fits the criteria and is between 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch. Therefore, 5/16 inch is the correct size bit to try next.
