Question

1/4 square yards of fabic divided into 8 equally sections. What is the size of each seaction in square yards?

Answer 1

The size of each section is
`(1)/(32)` square yards

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the fabric = 1/4 square yards

To Find:

The size of each section in square yards if divided into 8 equal sections

Solution:

Let the size of each section be x

Then

`x = \frac{\text{length of the fabric}}{8}`

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

`x = (1)/(4) * \frac {1}{8}`

`x = (1)/(32)`

Then the length of each section will be
`(1)/(32)` square yards
