Who is the inventor of mark 1?

Grace Hopper invented the Mark 1 computer and she invented the other series of the mark computers also.Wrong! Grace Hopper had nothing to do with design of the Harvard Mark I as she wasn't even there. Her first contact with it was several months after it was fully operating, when she was hired as its 3rd programmer.Howard Aiken designed the Harvard Mark I and IBM built it for him using Navy funds.Hopper did suggest and help design some upgrades to the Harvard Mark I and was influential on other Harvard Mark machines, but she invented none of them.Hopper did invent many software development methodologies on machines ranging from the Harvard Mark I to the UNIVAC I, including several compilers culminating in FLOW-MATIC, which was the major input used in defining COBOL.Note that there were several computers identified as Marl 1, not just the Harvard machine. A few examples are:Ferranti Mark 1, in Manchester England the first British commercial computerManchester Mark 1, the prototype for the Ferranti Mark 1ETL Mark 1, in Japan

What is 5.1 inches on a tape measure?

On a standard tape measure, 5.1 inches would be represented by the fifth line after the 1-inch mark. Each inch is divided into 16 equal parts, so the 5.1 inch mark would fall between the 5-inch mark and the 6-inch mark. It is important to note that some tape measures may have additional markings for greater precision, such as 1/8 or 1/16 inch increments.
