Natalie sawed five boards of equal length to make a stool each was 9/10 of a meter long how many meters of boy did she saw express your answer in the sum of a whole number and the remaining fractional unit draw a number line to represent the problem

The total meters of board Natalie saw = 4 ½ meters

To determine the total amount of the board Natalie saw, each board value will be multiplied by the number of boards Natalie made.

Since each board value is a fraction (9/10), the numerator (9) would be multiplied by 5, and then divided by the denominator (10).

The derived answer would be the amount of boards Natalie made.

Therefore,

= 9/10 x 5

= 9 x 5 ÷ 10

= 45 ÷ 10

= 4.5

Expressing it in a whole number and remaining fractional unit:

= 4.5

= 4 ½

The above expression is a given number problem that deals with a fraction. Fractions are said to be part of a whole. Notably, whole numbers are number values that do not have a fraction or are without a fraction.

4 is an example of a whole number. While ½ is a fractional value.

There are three types of fraction:

Also, an Order of Operations i.e. BODMAS was used to derive the final answer (4 ½). Notably, Multiplication and Division. BODMAS represents Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
