Question

Please can I have the answer for number 12?Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Given:

length of the piece of string = 3/4 inches

length of the piece that we need = 1/8 inches

The number of smaller piece that we can get from the original piece of string can be calculated using the formula:

`\text{Number }of\text{ smaller piece = }\frac{length\text{ of original piece}}{length\text{ of smaller piece}}`

Applying this formula:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Number of smaller piece = }(3)/(4)/\text{ }(1)/(8) \\ \end{gathered}`

If the number of pieces is represented as n:

`n\text{ = }(3)/(4)/\text{ }(1)/(8)`
