Jamie cut a rope into thirds. He used two of the pieces to make a swing. He used equal lengths of the leftover rope on four picture frames. What fraction of the original rope did he use for each picture frame?1/41/121/163/4

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

If Jamie cut a rope into thirds, the fractional length of each of the rope = 1/3.

He used two of the pieces to make a swing.

The fraction leftover = 1/3

Since he used equal lengths of the leftover rope on four picture frames, we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Length for each picture frame=}\frac{1}{3}\div4 \\ =\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{1}{12} \end{gathered}[/tex]

He used 1/12 of the original rope for each picture frame.
