Question You can use the number line to help you with this problem: David marked a foot-long stick using eighths. If he breaks the stick at the 3838 mark, then one piece is 3838 of a foot long and the other piece is 5858 of a foot long. This is represented by the equation 38+58=8838+58=88 . Use the equation editor to type two more equations that represent the stick being broken in different places. (2 points)

Answer 1

1) 1/8 + 7/8 = 8/8

This equation represents breaking the stick at the 1/8 mark, resulting in one piece being 1/8 of a foot long and the other piece being 7/8 of a foot long.

2) 5/8 + 3/8 = 8/8
This equation represents breaking the stick at the 5/8 mark, resulting in one piece being 5/8 of a foot long and the other piece being 3/8 of a foot long.
