If you have two straight sticks of length 7.5 feet and 3.25 feet, what is the minimum length can you mesaure?1. 0.05 foot2. 0.25 foot3. 1 foot4. 3.25 foot

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.25 foot

Given:

Length of sticks are 7.5 feet ad 3.25 feet

Formula used:

HCF of (A/B) and (C/D) = (HCF of A and C)/(LCM of B and D)

Calculation:

First convert decimal into fraction

⇒ 7.5 = 75/10 = 15/2

⇒ 3.25 = 325/100 = 13/4

Now, minimum length will be measured by HCF of {15/2, 13/4}

⇒ HCF = 1/4 = 0.25

∴ The minimum length can be measured by two stick is 0.25 foot.
