Answer 1

The length of her hair after cutting can be expressed as ;

• h(1 - 0.75) and 1/4h

Using the parameters given for our Calculation ;

• Initial length = h
• Percentage cut off = 75%

Length of hair after cutting ;

(1 - percentage cut) * initial length

Now we have ;

(1 - 0.75)h

We can express as a fraction thus ;

0.25h ;

0.25 = 1/4

Hence, 1/4h
