Question

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

• A. $\frac{7}{18}ft$
• B. $\frac{11}{18}ft$
• C. $\frac{6}{18}ft$
• D. $\frac{3}{18}ft$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{3}{18}ft$

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

All the options have the same denominator i.e. 18.

∴ We only have to look for fractions which contain numerator less than 5.

Also, comparing by fraction bars, we can see that,

$\frac{3}{18}<\frac{5}{18}$

$\text{So, Adil should choose the wooden log with}$
$\text{length}\frac{3}{18}ft.$
