Question

How many rectangles do we get if we divide $\frac{1}{4}$ by 2.

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8

Take a rectangle and cut into 4 equal pieces and color 1 of them which represents $\frac{1}{4}$.Now divide $\frac{1}{4}$ by 2: Cut the rectangle using a horizontal line into two equal halves .

We have cut this into 8 small rectangles out of which only 1 part is colored which represents $\frac{1}{8}$.
Hence, $\frac{1}{4}÷2=\frac{1}{8}$ where 8 represents small rectangles.
