Question

Sandra used 1/4 of a meter of string to make a bracelet. Write the fraction of a meter of Sandra used in eighths

Answer 1

Sandra used 2 eighths of a meter of string.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the fraction of a meter Sandra used in eighths, we need to convert the fraction 1/4 of a meter to eighths. There are 8 eighths in a whole, so we can divide 1/4 by 1/8 to find the equivalent fraction in eighths. When dividing fractions, we multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor, so 1/4 divided by 1/8 is equal to (1/4) * (8/1) = 8/4 = 2 eighths.

Answer 2

¼ / ⅛ = (8*1)/(4*1) = 2 so ¼ = 2 * ⅛
