<em>Directed numbers</em> are numbers that have either a <u>positive</u> or <u>negative </u>sign, which can be shown on a <em>number line</em>. Therefore, point F is Fifteen-halves of line <em>segment</em> DE.

A <u>number line</u> is a system that can show the positions of <em>positive</em> or <em>negative</em> numbers. It has its <em>ends</em> ranging from <em>negative infinity</em> to <em>positive infinity</em>. Thus any <em>directed</em> number can be located on the line.

Directed numbers are numbers with either a <u>negative</u> or <u>positive </u>sign, which shows their direction with respect to the <em>number line.</em>

In the given question, the <u>distance</u> between points D and E is <em>9 units</em>. So that <em>dividing</em> 9 units in the ratio of 5 to 6, we have;

\frac{5}{6} x 9   = \frac{45}{6}

          = \frac{15}{2}

Therefore, the <em>location</em> of point F, which <u>partitions</u> the directed line segment from d to E into a 5:6 ratio is    \frac{15}{2}. Thus the<em> answer</em> is <u>Fifteen-halves.</u>

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

  $140

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add up the prices to find the total. Most of us find it easier to multiply the price by the number of items.

  cost of 2 shirts = (2)($25.00) = $50

  cost of 4 pants = (4)(22.50) = $90

The total was $50 +90 = $140.

❖ 16 min : 28 min simplified to a fraction is \frac{4}{7}

16 and 28 can both be divided by 24:

16 ÷ 4 = 4

28 ÷ 4 = 7
