Measurement Questions and Answers

1.
- A.
  
  1/4
- B.
  
  2/8
- C.
  
  1/8
Correct Answer
A. 1/4

Explanation
The given image shows a fraction line with three fractions written below it. The first fraction is 1/4, the second fraction is 2/8, and the third fraction is 1/8. The correct answer is 1/4 because it is the only fraction that is equivalent to 1/4. The second fraction, 2/8, can be simplified to 1/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. The third fraction, 1/8, is not equivalent to 1/4 as it has a smaller denominator. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/4.

If a rectangle measures 24 inches in length and 18 inches in width, what is its perimeter in inches?
- A.
  
  40 inches

  80 inches
- C.
  
  84 inches
- D.
  
  96 inches
Correct Answer
C. 84 inches

Explanation
In a rectangle, the perimeter is found by adding the lengths of all its sides.

This calculation helps determine the boundary length for fencing or framing purposes.

So, we convert 2/8 to 1/4 and 1/16 to 1/8 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2 and 4 respectively. Now, we can subtract the fractions by subtracting the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. The result is 1-1/8.
