Question

A carpenter has a wooden that measures 1/4 meter long. He must cut the board into 6 pieces of equal length. How long in meters should the carpenter cut each piece.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/26 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

You would start by dividing 1/4 by 6. You'd have to multiply 1/4 by the reciprocal of 6 (the reciprocal of 6 would be 1/6). Then you get (1/4) * (1/6), which is equal to 1/24.
