Question

What is the length of the children shoes?

Answer 1

60mm

Explanation:

240*1/4=60mm

Answer 2

40 mm

Explanation:

Given information:

• The average adult shoe is 240 mm in length.
• The children's shoes are smaller than the adult shoes
  using a scale of ¹/₆.

To find the length of the children's shoes, multiply the length of the adult shoes by the scale factor:

`\begin{aligned}\implies 240 * (1)/(6)&=(240 * 1)/(6)\\\\&=(240)/(6)\\\\&=(40 * 6)/(6)\\\\&=40\; \sf mm\end{aligned}`

Therefore, the length of the children's shoes is 40 mm.
