Respuesta :

6. You can make 6 sections

Answer:

6 sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malcom uses a marker to draw a straight line on a piece of paper.

The line is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet long.

He wants to divide the line into sections of [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] feet long.

The number of sections would be = [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{9} }[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex]

            = [tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex]

            = 6 sections

There would be 6 sections.
