Question

A play ground is divided in to 3 equal section the middle section is divided into 2 smaller sections what fraction has the middle section

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is:

`SmallerSectionFraction=(1)/(6)`

Why?

From the statement we know that there is a playground divided into 3 equal sections, then the middle section is divided into 2 smaller sections, we can find what fraction has the middle section by dividing into 2.

So, calculating we have:

`SmallerSectionFraction=(FirstFraction)/(2)`

`SmallerSectionFraction=((1)/(3))/(2)=(1)/(6)`

So, the smaller sections will be
`(1)/(6)` of the original play ground.

Have a nice day!
