Question

Jerry has a rope of length $\frac{7}{8}$ m. Which of the following lengths of rope can be cut from the given length?

• A. $\frac{9}{8}$ m
• B. $\frac{10}{8}$ m
• C. $\frac{6}{8}$ m
• D. $\frac{8}{8}$ m

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{6}{8}$ m

Total length of the rope = $\frac{7}{8}m$

To cut the length of the rope, the fraction must be less than $\frac{7}{8}m$.

From the given options, only $\frac{6}{8}$ is less than $\frac{7}{8}$.

Hence, option d is correct.
