Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to find how many 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches is to convert 1 and 1/2 into an improper fraction.
To do this, convert 1 into a fraction with the same denominator as 1/2, which is 2.
1 = 1/1
1/1 = 2/2
Now add 2/2, which is the same as 1, to 1/2.
2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
So 1 and 1/2 = 3/2
Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 so you can see how many times 1/4 goes into the fraction equivalent to 1 and 1/2.
3/2 = 6/4
1/4 goes into 6/4 6 times, since the numerator of 1 goes into the numerator of 6 6 times.
So the answer is that 6 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinate of B = 1
Coordinate of D = 6
Coordinate of A = -1
BD = |1 - 6| = 5 units
AD = |-1 - 6| = |-7| = 7 units
