in art Mr Jocelyn have everyone 1 foot stick to measure and cut Vivian measured and cut her stick into five equal pieces. Scott measured and cut his into 7 equal pieces. Scott said to Vivian the total length of my stick is longer than yours because I have 7 pieces and you only have 5. is Scott correct?

Respuesta :

This is not correct because they each started with the same size piece of stick.  Scott's pieces are shorter than Vivian's pieces because the same starting size was broken into 7 pieces where Vivian's was only broken into 5 pieces.  1/5 is bigger that 1/7.     The question is confusing at the beginning.  It is not grammatically correct.
