Hello skateboarder

Oh glorious decimal system, where this is much easier to see !

half inch = 4/8 inch
hole inch = 7/7 (0/8) and 8/8 inch

half spacing between half inches is 2/8 and 6/8
half spacing between full inches is 4/8

4 7/8 --> nearest half inch = 4 + 8/8 = 5

4 7/8 --> nearest inch = 4 + 8/8 = 5

Ohh my gosh that is the same question I have in math today! I think it is round to five in.
