To determine the length of each segment of a bisected ruler measuring 1 foot (which is equivalent to 12 inches), we need to divide the total length by 2.
So, we calculate:
1 foot = 12 inches
12 inches / 2 = 6 inches
Therefore, when the ruler is bisected, each segment measures 6 inches.
The correct response is:
6 inches
6 inches
This is because bisecting a measurement means splitting it into two equal parts, and since 12 inches divided by 2 is 6 inches, each segment of the bisected ruler is 6 inches long.
