Answer 1

Answer: fraction = 1/20 or 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert metre to centimeter

1 metre = 100 centimeters

Given that Each fourth meter is marked off and divided into 5 smaller equal lengths. This means:

1/4 × 100 = 25

Then divide 25 into 5 places

25/5 = 5cm

If Mr. Hopkins bends the wire at - meter, what fraction of the smaller marks is that?

The fraction = 5/100 = 1/ 20 or 0.05
