Answer 1

Complete question :

Mr. Hopkins has a 1 meter wire he is using to make clocks. Each fourth meter is marked off with 5 smaller equal lengths. If Mr. Hopkins bends the wire at ¾ meter, what fraction of the marks is that?

Answer:

15 th ; 15/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 1 m

Number of fourth length possible = 1 ÷ 1/4 = 1 * 4/1 = 4

Each fourth length divided into 5 equal sizes :

Hence. Total number of equal spaced division :

5 * 4 = 20

If wire is bent at 3/4 meter :

Fraction of the mark

3/ 4 of 20

3/4 * 20

(3 * 20) / 4

60 / 4

= 15th

= 15/ 20
