David marked a foot long stick using eights if he breaks the stick at the 3/8 mark then one piece is 3/8 of a foot long and the other piece is 5/8 of a foot long this is represented by the equation 3/8+5/8=8/8.
Use the equation editor to type more equations that represent the stick being broken in different places.
1. If the stick is broken at the 1/4 mark, the two pieces would be 1/4 of a foot and 3/4 of a foot. This can be represented by the equation 1/4 + 3/4 = 4/4.
2. If the stick is broken at the 1/2 mark, the two pieces would be equal in length, each being 1/2 of a foot. This can be represented by the equation 1/2 + 1/2 = 2/2.
3. If the stick is broken at the 5/8 mark, the two pieces would be 5/8 of a foot and 3/8 of a foot. This can be represented by the equation 5/8 + 3/8 = 8/8.
