Why is partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 not the same as finding One-third the length of the directed lin

e segment?
The ratio given is part to whole, but fractions compare part to part.
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 3 – 1 = 2.
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 1 + 3 = 4.
The ratio given is part to whole, but the associated fraction is One-third.

The reason why partitioning and fractioning are different is because; The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 1 + 3 = 4.

<h3>Why is partitioning different from fractioning?</h3>

It follows from the task content that a close analysis of the statement of ratios; 1:3 implies that the whole is divided into four parts; 1+3 = 4.

On the contrary, one-third simply means 1 out of 3 equal parts of the line.

How many solutions does the equation have?
borishaifa [10]
First we have to distribute the parentheses on the left side, 2*x is 2x and 2*-3 is -6, so now the equation is 4x+2x-6 = 8x+12
Then, we can add together the two x's on the left side,
so now we have 6x-6 = 8x+12       Subtract 12 from both sides and
you get 6x -18 = 8x    Then you can subtract 6x from both the sides and get
-18 = 2x  Now we can divide both sides by 2, and the final answer is -9 = x
Since they are not the same and the two sides aren't unequal, there is one solution(:
Hope this is helping you(:

Which inequality best models the situation if variable h is the number of hours Miguel could practice the piano each week? Migue
Irina18 [472]
H is the number of hours Miguel could practice the piano each week.

Miguel goal is to practice the piano more than x hours per week.

h >= x

hence depending on the amount ot hours needed to practice each week, you have to set them to be the minimum, and any other larger quantity satisfies the proposition as well.
