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.
