Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of point T are given as follows: T(5,2).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, point T partitions the segment DF in a 2:1 ratio, hence:

T - D = \frac{2}{2+1}(F - D)

T - D = \frac{2}{3}(F - D)

This is applied for both coordinates, hence, for the x-coordinate:

x - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(7 - 1)

x - 1 = 4

x = 5

For the y-coordinate:

y - 4 = \frac{2}{3}(1 - 4)

y - 4 = -2

y = 2.

Hence, the coordinates of point T are: T(5,2).

The reason is because the is 16 ounces in a pound so you would do 8.99/16 and you get .56 per ounce but is you do 6.50/12 you get .54 per ounce which is a better deal.
