Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Determine the length of each part.

    The total length is 78\frac{7}{8} cm. The problem states it is divided into "equal parts(1)". We interpret "(1)" as meaning it is divided into 1 part.
    The length of each part is the total length divided by the number of parts.

    Length of each part=78 cm÷1=78 cm\text{Length of each part} = \frac{7}{8} \text{ cm} \div 1 = \frac{7}{8} \text{ cm}
  2. Calculate how much one division differs from 18\frac{1}{8} cm.

    "One division" refers to the length of each part calculated in Step 1, which is 78\frac{7}{8} cm.
    To find the difference, we subtract 18\frac{1}{8} cm from the length of one division.

    Difference=78 cm−18 cm\text{Difference} = \frac{7}{8} \text{ cm} - \frac{1}{8} \text{ cm} Difference=7−18 cm\text{Difference} = \frac{7-1}{8} \text{ cm} Difference=68 cm\text{Difference} = \frac{6}{8} \text{ cm}

    Simplify the fraction:

    Difference=34 cm\text{Difference} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ cm}

    The length of each part is 78 cm\boxed{\frac{7}{8} \text{ cm}}.
    One division differs from 18\frac{1}{8} cm by 34 cm\boxed{\frac{3}{4} \text{ cm}}.
