I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4= $\frac{13}{4}$ and 11/4= $\frac{11}{4}$ . Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio 3 to 1 from C to D. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

$\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} = \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4} \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}$

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is ( $\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}$ ).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.

after a party, you have 2/5 of the brownies you made left over. there are 16 left. how many brownies did you make for the party

vodomira [7]

16 = 2/5
16 ÷ 2 = 2/5 ÷ 2/1
8 = 1/5
8 * 5 = 1/5 * 5
40 = 5/5
You started the party with 40 brownies
