One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction. When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".
Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.
If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.
If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time. You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
Multiply 9 feet times 12 inches and you get 108 inches. Then take 108 inches and divide it by 12 sections, you get 9 inches.
Answer: Each section should be 9 inches long, or 0.75, or 3/4 feet long.
the correct answer would be A. 8^-12
8^2 /8^16 = 1/8^14 = 2.27373*10^-13
8^-12 = 1.45519*10^-11
which are equal so answer is A
