Question

There is an ivory sculpture in the museum. It is of height 4/5 yd. It has 5 identical parts. Find the height of each part.

• A. $\frac{4}{25}$ yd
• B. $\frac{1}{25}$ yd
• C. $\frac{5}{20}$ yd
• D. $\frac{25}{4}$ yd

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{4}{25}$ yd

Height of the ivory sculpture = $\frac{4}{5}$ yd

It has 5 parts.

Height of 1 part = $\frac{4}{5}$ $÷$ 5

= $\frac{4}{5}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{5}$

= $\frac{4}{25}$ yd

Hence, the height of each part is $\frac{4}{25}$ yd.
