If a line 1 7/8 inches long is cut into six equal parts, how long is each part?

Sagot :

Answer: [tex] \frac{5}{16} [/tex] or 0.3125

1 [tex] \frac{7}{8} [/tex] / 6 = x

Combine the mixed fraction.

[tex] \frac{15}{8} [/tex] * [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] = x

("divided by 6" can also be expressed as a fraction)

Multiply the numerator and the denominator.

[tex] \frac{15}{8} [/tex] * [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] = x
[tex] \frac{15}{48} [/tex] = x

Simplify.

[tex] \frac{15}{48} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{5}{16} [/tex]
