Transcript text: Which pipe would be more accurately measured using a fraction of the scale?

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

The problem asks which pipe (A or B) would be more accurately measured using a fraction of the scale provided. The scale is divided into thirds (1/3, 2/3, 3/3).

Step 2: Analyze the Lengths of the Pipes

Pipe A extends from 0 to 2/3 of the scale.
Pipe B extends from 0 to 1/3 of the scale.

Step 3: Determine the Accuracy of Measurement

Pipe A's length is 2/3 of the scale.
Pipe B's length is 1/3 of the scale. Since the scale is divided into thirds, measuring a length that aligns exactly with these divisions (like 1/3 or 2/3) will be more accurate.

Final Answer

Pipe A.
