Question

Mr. Hopkins has a 1 meter wire he is using to make clocks. Each fourth meter is marked off with 5 smaller equal lengths. If Mr. Hopkins bends the wire at ¾ meter, what fraction of the marks is that?

Answer 1

`15/19`

Explanation:

The wire is divided into `4xx5=20` equal length segments.
`19` marks will divide a length into `20` segments.

`3/4` of the length of the `1` meter (`=20` segment) wire will occur at the `15th` segment marker.
