Question

The length of one string is 4 metres and the length of an other string is 14 metres.

What fraction of the longer string is the shortest string?​

Answer 1

String 1 = 4 meters

String 2= 14 meters

Hence ratio = string 2:string 1

14m:4m

14/2:4/2

(2 is the Least Common Multiple of 14 and 4)

7m:2m

Hence ratio=7 meters is to 2 meters

Answer 2

Answer:

answer was 10 because 14 - 4 = 10
