Question

The length of a log boat is half the length of a long boat. If the long boat is 10 m, what is the length of the log boat?

• A. 2 m
• B. 5 m
• C. 6 m
• D. 8 m

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5 m

Length of long boat = 10 m
Length of log boat = $\frac{1}{2}$ of 10 m
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5 m

Note: 2 half make 1. So to find half of any number we divide that numbe by 2.
