Question

The speed indicator is placed 3/5 miles after the warning board which is placed at position 1.
To place the speed indicator correctly, find the number of divisions are required between 1 and 2.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\text{Since the speed indicator is placed at the}$
$\text{position}\frac{3}{5}\text{km after the warning board,}$
$\text{which is placed at position}1.$

So, the speed indicator lies between 1 and 2.

$\text{We know,}\frac{3}{5}<1$

So, we need to have 5 equal divisions between 1 and 2 such that the speed indicator lies at the position 3 parts out of 5 parts.

$\text{So,}\frac{3}{5}\text{can be shown as}:$


Hence, third option is the correct answer.
