Hello there,
5 up right 2
5/2x
This is a scalene triangle
The distance between these points are 6
D and B. They are both when they use 1/5 of something and then divide it into 10 parts
First we have to find how much string we are going to cut into 5 pieces. We do this by taking 1/5 of 7/8 meter.
1/5 × 7/8 = 7/40
Now we have to subtract this from the original amount...
7/8 - 7/40 =
35/40 - 7/40 =
28/40 = 14/20 = 7/10
Now we divide this remaining string by 5 to find the length of the individual pieces...
7/10 ÷ 5 =
7/10 × 1/5 =
7/50 meter
