Question

On a number line, M is at 0 and N is at 9. What is the coordinate of P, which is 2/3 of the way from M to N

Answer 1

The number line M-N is from 0 - 9.

2/3 of the way will be the same as 9 x 2/3

That equals 18/3 which reduces to 6.

6 is the coord 2/3 across the numberline from 0 to 9.
