As the calculation we're asked to do looks complicated, we'll first try estimating.
This is an Alternative approach.
As every mark is 1/16 of an inch and we need to count 111 marks, this gives 111/16 of an inch.
Looking at our answers, this is close to 6, close to 7, close to 8, close to 9 or close to 11.
Since 6*16 = 96 and 7*16 = 96 + 16 = 112 , our answer is between 6 and 7 and much closer to 7.
This is (B), 6 15/16.
(B) is our answer.

Pls correct - 7*16=96 + 16= 112
Now (111/16) will give answer as option B
