Answer 2

4/7

Step-by-step-- It is given that we have cut the 4 ft long.

We have to make it into 7 times it's original piece.

To determine this Is the length of the new rods.

Let the length of each new rod be x.

We need 7 rods-

7x = 4 ft

1 = 4/7x

x = 4x/7x

So, x gets cancelled. Now, we get the answer as . 4/7
