Answer: Brent would be wrong because each section of the road is 1/12 mile long

Step-by-step explanation:

The road is 1/4 mile long. When divided into 3 equal parts, it is done in the following manner:

= 1/4 ÷ 3

= 1/4 * 1/3

= 1/12

Each section of the road is 1/12 of a mile long.

3/4 is actually a larger quantity than 1/4 so saying that each section was 3/4 of a mile would mean it was longer than the road itself which is not logical.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The answer is 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

What's easy about dealing with a denoninator of 50 is that it goes in to 100 only twice.


By multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2, you get 84/100


That is the same as saying 84%
