Question

Find the distance between points A and F​

Answer 1

Answer:
`2(1)/(4)`

This is the mixed number 2 & 1/4

whole part = 2

fractional part = 1/4

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tickmark represents
`(1)/(4)`

If you count the spaces between points F and A, you should count out exactly 9 spaces as shown in the diagram below.

We'll multiply that value 9 by
`(1)/(4)` to get our final answer.

`9*(1)/(4) = (9)/(4)`

`(9)/(4) = (8+1)/(4)\\\\(9)/(4) = (8)/(4)+(1)/(4)\\\\(9)/(4) = 2+(1)/(4)\\\\(9)/(4) = 2 (1)/(4)\\\\`

The result we get is a mixed number 2 & 1/4, meaning the whole part is 2 and the fractional part is
`(1)/(4)`
