Question

A 10 metre length of Wood is marked out into 10 equal lengths. How many metres from one end is the third mark?

Answer 1

3 metres from one end to the third mark

Solution:

Total length of wood = 10 metre

Wood is marked into 10 equal length.

$\text{Length of each marking}=\frac{\text{Total length}}{\text{Number of marking}}$

                                     $=\frac{10}{10}$

                                     = 1 metre

Length of each marking = 1 metre

Number of metres from one end to third mark = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 metre

The image of the marking is attached below.

Hence 3 metres from one end to the third mark.
