Question

If Adil requires a wooden log of length less than $\frac{5}{18}$ ft, which length should he choose?

• A. $\frac{5}{26}$ ft
• B. $\frac{5}{6}$ ft
• C. $\frac{5}{9}$ ft
• D. $\frac{5}{12}$ ft

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{5}{26}$ ft

Adil requires a wooden log of length less than $\frac{5}{18}$ ft.

All the options have the same numerator i.e. 5.
∴ We only have to look for fractions which contain denominators less than 18.

Also, comapring by fraction bars we can see that,


Only, $\frac{5}{26}<\frac{5}{18}$

So, Adil will choose the wooden log having length $\frac{5}{26}$ ft.
