Question

Lana needs two strips of metal for an art project.She has a piece that is 5/12 foot long.She needs the second piece to be longer than the first.Which fraction could be the length of the second piece of metal?

Answer 1

Answer: The required fraction would be

$\dfrac{6}{12},\dfrac{7}{12},..............etc$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first piece = $\dfrac{5}{12}\ feet$

She needs the second piece longer than the first,

So, the length of second piece would be

$x>\dfrac{5}{12}$

So, it can be

$\dfrac{6}{12},\dfrac{7}{12},\dfrac{8}{12},.........$

Hence, the required fraction would be

$\dfrac{6}{12},\dfrac{7}{12},..............etc$
