Partition a number line from 0 to 1 into fourths.Decompose 3/4 into 6 equal lengths.
Accepted Solution
A:
Step 1 Partition a number line from 0 to 1 into fourths 1 into fourths--------> 1/4 (0)----------------(1/4)----------------(2/4)---------------(3/4)---------------(4/4) (0)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)
Step 2 Decompose 3/4 into 6 equal lengths
Note that in the previous graph the number 3/4 is divided into 3 equal parts. so to divide it into 6 equal parts we will divide the space of 1/4 between 2 to obtain spaces of 1/8
