Question

$\text{Which point on the given measuring tape}$ $\text{denotes the fraction}\frac{4}{10}?$

• A. $\text{Point A}$
• B. $\text{Point C}$
• C. $\text{Point D}$
• D. $\text{Point B}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{Point B}$

$\text{4 points are marked on the given}$ $\text{measuring tape.}$

$\text{Let us first mark all the fractions}$ $\text{on the scale.}$


$\text{We can see that,}$
$\text{Point A denotes}$$\text{the fraction}$ $\frac{2}{10}$

$\text{Point B denotes}$$\text{the fraction}$ $\frac{4}{10}$

$\text{Point C denotes}$$\text{the fraction}$ $\frac{6}{10}$

$\text{Point D denotes}$$\text{the fraction}$ $\frac{8}{10}$

$\text{Hence, Point B denotes the}$$\text{fraction}\frac{4}{10}.$
