Vanessa drew a line that was 6 inches long. She divided the line into 7 equal-length segments.
How long was each segment?
A.7/6 in.
B.13 in.
C.6/7 in.
D.1/7 in.
What do you think?
To find the length of each segment, we need to divide the total length of the line (6 inches) by the total number of segments (7).
So, the length of each segment can be found by dividing 6 inches by 7 segments.
To calculate this, we can use the division operation:
6 ÷ 7 = 0.8571
Therefore, each segment is approximately 0.8571 inches long.
However, none of the answer choices provided matches this value exactly. The closest option is option A.
So, the answer is A. 7/6 in.
