Question

3 workers make $\frac{3}{8}$ part of the pirate ship. If all of them work equally, how much part of the ship will each worker make daily?

• A. $\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{9}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{12}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{8}$

Part of the ship to be made = $\frac{3}{8}$
Number of workers present = $3$

So, part of the ship to be made equally by all the workers will be: $\frac{3}{8}÷3$.

Now, visualize this division process using grid model.


Now, divide this fraction into $3$ horizontal bars.


∴ You get, $\frac{3}{8}÷3$ = $\frac{3}{24}$

So each worker will work on $\frac{3}{24}$ or, $\frac{1}{8}$ part of the pirate ship daily.
