Suppose we have two points, A= (1,2) and B=(2,5)
We need to divide the line segment AB obtained by joining these 2 points, in a ratio 2:3,
Then, to find the coordinates of the point (x,y) which will divide the line segment AB (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) we will use the formula,

x=(mx1 + nx2)/(m+n)
y=(my1 + ny2)/(m+n)
Where m:n is the ratio in which it divides

Thus, coordinates will be x= (2*1 + 3*2)/(2+3)
Or x = 8/5

And y = (2*2 + 5*3)/(2+3) = 19/5

Thus the coordinates of the point are (8/5, 19/5) which divide the line in 2:3 formed by coordinates (1,2) and (2,5)

harina [27]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

the fraction 49/7 is the same as the problem 49÷7

If you do the problem, you get 7, and if you want to check you could do the inverse- 7x7=49. Since that checks out, 7 is your answer.

Hope this helps :)
