Question

What fraction of a log can Kate use to fill the remaining 1/3 meters?

Answer 1

To determine what fraction of a log Kate can use to fill the remaining \( \frac{1}{3} \) meters, we need to know the total length of the log. However, since you haven't provided the total length of the log, I can't give a specific fraction.

Here’s how you can find the fraction:

1. Let \( L \) be the total length of the log.
2. The fraction of the log needed to fill \( \frac{1}{3} \) meters is given by the formula:

\[
\text{Fraction of log used} = \frac{\text{length needed}}{\text{total length of the log}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{L}
\]

3. If you specify the length of the log, you can substitute \( L \) into the formula to find the specific fraction.

For example:
- If the total length of the log is 1 meter, then:
\[
\text{Fraction of log used} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
- If the total length of the log is 2 meters, then:
\[
\text{Fraction of log used} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{2} = \frac{1}{6}
\]

Please provide the total length of the log if you would like a specific answer!
