OpenStudy (anonymous):

The number 10

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

What attachment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It starts with a piece of string

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

OK. Let me read it please.

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

So, it is 48 cm. What is the half of forty eight?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

" a piece of string, 48 cm long, is folded in half lengthways, then in half again and then in half again. It is then cut through all strands at some point in its lenghs. At least one of the pieces is 5cm long. Which of the following could not be the length of one of the other pieces? A. 2 B. 3.5 C. 8 D. 10

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

It is 24. So, now since it said half it again, what is the half if 24?

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

of 24?

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

12. What is the half of 12?

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

It said half it again, so what is the half of 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nina

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it's not a choice

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

Since people are not real accurate, then the halves won't be accurated too.

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

Yes

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

And, it says which is not a choice.

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

So, the ones the are close to 6 like 8 and 3.5 might be one of the length of the strings.

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

Again, it said which could not be the length of the string

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

So, B and C are not the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u think it's d

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

Also, one of the pieces HAS to be 5 cm. long. So 2 cm is is not five or more.

OpenStudy (ninafilipyeva):

So, A is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks
