Answer:
The size of each section is[tex]\frac{1}{32}[/tex] square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of the fabric = 1/4 square yards
To Find:
The size of each section in square yards if divided into 8 equal sections
Solution:
Let the size of each section be x
Then
[tex]x = \frac{\text{length of the fabric}}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac {1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1}{32}[/tex]
Then the length of each section will be [tex]\frac{1}{32}[/tex] square yards
