Question

The area of the lab containing the radio active material is shown on the number line. From the number line, the area is .

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$ sq. yd
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$ sq. yd
• C. $\frac{2}{3}$ sq. yd

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{3}$ sq. yd

In the given number line, 1 is divided into 3 equal parts.

Each part is equivalent to $\frac{1}{3}$

The point is marked at $\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the area of the lab that contains radio active material is $\frac{1}{3}$ sq. yd.
