B. X= 1/8 ÷ 1/8
C. X= 1/4 ÷ 1/8
D. X= 8 ÷ 1/4

​

Answer 1

(a)
`Unit = (1)/(4)/8`

Explanation:

Given

`Time = (1)/(4)`

`Lap = 8`

Required

Determine the time in each lap

The unit time in each lap is calculated by dividing the total time by the number of laps; i.e.;

`Unit = (Time)/(Lap)`

Substitute values for Time and Lap

`Unit = (1)/(4)/8`
