Answer: 7 sections.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jason draws a line in the sand at the beach.
The line is [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] ft long.
He wants to divide the line into sections that are each [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] ft long.
Then, the number of section will the line be divided into is given by using division operation:-
[tex]\dfrac{7}{8}\div\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{7}{8}\times8=7[/tex] [Change [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] by its reciproval (8) to convert division operation into multiplication]
Hence, the line will divided into 7 sections.
