Question

(a) Show the fractions $\frac{4}{4},\frac{2}{4},\frac{3}{4}$ on a number line and simplify.
(b) A 9.85m long rope is divided into 5 equal parts. Find the length of each part. [4 MARKS]

Answer 1

Each option: 2 Marks

(a) $\frac{4}{4}=1$

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ is in its simplest form

Representation of the fractions on the number line is shown below

(b) Length of rope = 9.85m

After dividing the rope into 5 equal parts each part will be $\frac{1}{5}th$ of the total part.

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{5}\times 9.85=\frac{9.85}{5}=1.97m$
