Solution

The correct option is A
$\frac{1}{5}$ yd

Total length of the wood = $\frac{12}{5}$ yd

We have to divide it to 12 parts.

$\frac{12}{5}$ $\div$ 12 = $\frac{12}{5}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{12}$
= $\frac{1}{5}$ yd

Hence, the length of each rung is $\frac{1}{5}$ yd.

10 rungs are needed for designing a ladder. If 12/5 yd length of wood is cut into 12 parts, the length of each rung is .

The correct option is A 15 yd Total length of the wood = 125 yd We have to divide it to 12 parts. 125 ÷ 12 = 125 × 112 = 15 yd Hence, the length of each rung is 15 yd.
