Question

A steel rod of length 12 m is cut into small rods of length $fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 end fraction$ m. How many small rods can be cut?

24
48
36
3

hint Hint:

To find the number small rods that can be cut from a long rod ,we divide the total length of the long rod divided by length of each small rod.

The correct answer is: 48

The length of a small rod = $1 fourth$ m; The length of a long rod = 12 m
The number of small rods $equals space 12 divided by 1 fourth$
We can multiply the reciprocal of the denominator with the numerator to find the value of the problem.
$equals space 12 space cross times space 4 over 1 space$ ( $4 over 1$ is the reciprocal of $1 fourth$ )
= 48
Therefore, The number of small rods that can be divided is 48.
