<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Serena uses chalk to draw a straight line on the sidewalk. The line is 1/2 ft long. She wants to divide the line into sections that are each 1/8 ft long. How many sections will the line be divided into?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The number of sections that the line is divided is 4

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, Serena uses chalk to draw a straight line on the sidewalk

The line is 1/2 ft long. She wants to divide the line into sections that are each 1/8 ft long

From given,

$Total\ length\ of\ line = \frac{1}{2} \text{ feet }\\\\Length\ of\ each\ section = \frac{1}{8} \text{ feet }$

To find: Number of sections can be made

The number of sections that can be made is found by dividing the total length of line by length of each section

$\text{Number of sections } = \frac{\text{Total length of line}}{\text{length of each section}}$

Substituting the values, we get,

$\text{Number of sections } = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\\\\text{Number of sections } = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1}\\\\\text{Number of sections } = 4$
