If you had a fractional stip of 12th's what fractional lengths could you make???
Thank You,
ME!!
a stip?
a strip
Couldn't you make 1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
1/6 + 1/12 = 3/12
3/12 + 1/12 = 4/12 = 1/3 etc
ok i get it thank you!!!
ME!!!
Now i get it and know i want to know is that have to do with anything with factors of 12?
ME!!!
Can you make a capital i on your computer?
It may have something to do with factors of 12 but it may be coincidental that 1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 = 1/6 so we know 2 is a factor of 12.
To answer your question, let's first clarify what you mean by a "fractional stip of 12th's." If you're referring to a strip divided into 12 equal parts, representing the whole length, then we can proceed.
To determine the fractional lengths you can make, you need to consider various fractions that can be formed using those 12 equal parts. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by considering the simplest fraction, which is 1/12 of the whole strip. This means taking one of the 12 parts as your length.
2. Next, you can consider fractions with a denominator (bottom number) of 6. Since 6 is a multiple of 12, you can divide each part of the strip into halves. So, you can have 2/12, which is equivalent to 1/6 of the strip.
3. Continuing in the same manner, you can further divide each part into thirds. This means each part will now be divided into 3 equal sub-parts. So, you can have lengths like 3/12 or 1/4 of the strip.
4. Similarly, you can divide each part into quarters, resulting in 4 equal sub-parts. This will give you fractions like 4/12 or 1/3 of the strip.
5. Following this pattern, you can also have lengths like 6/12 (1/2), 8/12 (2/3), 9/12 (3/4), and 11/12 of the whole strip.
So, in summary, the possible fractional lengths you can make with a strip divided into 12 equal parts include 1/12, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 11/12 of the strip.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
