Question

Lara needs to split 4 square yards of fabric into 7 equal sections. Three of these expressions give the amount of fabric each section will have. Which one does NOT?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

To find the amount in each section, divide the number of yards by the number of sections.

4/7 is the 4/7 yards per 1 section.

4/7 = 0.57 yards per 1 section.

etc.

Choose the option which DOES not represent these values.

Answer 2

Answer: D. 7 divided by 4

Explanation:

Hi, the options are:

A.4/7

B. 1/7 of 4

C. 4 divided by 7

D. 7 divided by 4

So, to answer this we simply have to divide the number of yards (4) by the number of sections (7).

Mathematically speaking:

4 yards /7 sections = 7/4 = 0.57 yards of fabric per section.

So, options A and C are equal to the expression we deducted.

B is also correct. Because 1/7 x 4 = 0.57

So, the expression that does not give the amount of fabric each section will have is option D =7 divided by 4
