The towns highway department marks a new road with reflective markers. The road is 6 3/4 miles in length. The markers ar expanded every eighth 1/8 mile of a mile.

A. What is a division problem to find how many markers ar installed

B. Solve the problem

C. Explain the answer

Never mind, the other one was answered

Well except b and c

A. To find how many markers are installed, we can set up a division problem. The dividend, or the number being divided, is the length of the road, which is 6 3/4 miles. The divisor, or the number we are dividing by, is 1/8 mile, because the markers are placed every 1/8 mile.

B. To solve the problem, we can divide the length of the road by the distance between each marker.

6 3/4 miles ÷ 1/8 mile

First, we need to convert the mixed number 6 3/4 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and add the numerator (3). This gives us 27/4.

27/4 miles ÷ 1/8 mile

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 1/8 is 8/1.

27/4 miles × 8/1

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together (27 × 8) to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together (4 × 1) to get the new denominator.

(27 × 8)/(4 × 1) = 216/4

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

216/4 = 54/1

So, there are 54 markers installed on the road.

C. The answer to the division problem is 54. This means that there are 54 markers installed on the road.
