The town’s highway department marks a new road with reflective markers. The road is 6 3/4
miles
in length. The markers are spaced every 1/8
of a mile. How many markers are installed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total length of the road = 6 3/4 miles.

Each markers are spaced at a distance = 1/8 of a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the road ÷ each marker space =

a) 6 3/4 ÷ 1/8.

b) In order to solve it, we need to convert that fraction into improper fraction:

6 3/4 = 27/4

6 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 27/4 ÷ 1/8

We need to convert division sign into multiplication sign and flip the second fraction.

27/4 × 8/1

then simplify to get

27  × 2 = 54.

There would be total number of 54 markers of lengths (1/8) of a mile.

I got 54, I might be wrong. I divided 6 3/4 by 1/8
