How much does 6/7 of a line measure?

1. 11/14

2. 1/7

3. 6/7

4. 7/6

The correct answer is: 6/7

The correct answer is C. When we talk about a line, we are referring to the whole line. In this scenario, we are only looking to measure 6/7 of the line, which means we need to find 6 equal parts out of the total 7 parts. Therefore, the fraction representing this measurement is 6/7. Option A, 11/14 is incorrect because it represents more than the desired amount. Option B, 1/7, represents only one equal part of the line, which is not what we are looking for. Option D, 7/6, would represent a line length longer than the actual line, which is not an accurate measurement. That is why option C, 6/7, is the correct answer.
