Answer:

Naomi had the correct measurement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The measurement of the diamond ring measured by Lena = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] carat

Since,

[tex]\frac{5}{8}=0.625[/tex]

Thus, the measurement of the diamond ring = 0.625 carat,

Since, Naomi predicted the ring weighed 0.625 carats,

Hence, she had the correct measurement.
