Question

Woody divides a wire into 8 equal pieces. Which fraction is half of the wire?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Woody divides a wire into 8 equal parts.

No. of parts in half of the wire
$=\frac{\text{Total parts}}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$


Half of the wire in fraction:

$=\frac{\text{No. of parts in half of the wire}}{\text{Total no. of parts}}$
$=\frac{4}{8}$

$\text{Therefore, half of the wire is}\frac{4}{8}.$
