Question

Point X is at 2/3 on a number line on the number line point why is the same distance from 0 is point X but has a numerator of 8 what is the denominator of the fraction at point why

Answer 1

Answer:

Denominator

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Given:

Point X is at 2/3 on a number line from 0.

On the same line, point y is the same point from 0.

Numerator of the fraction at point y is 8.

We need to find the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Solution:

From the above statement the distance from 0 to point X and 0 to point Y is same, so point X is equal to Y.

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{x}$

By cross multiplication.

$x=\frac{8\times 3}{2}$

$x= \frac{24}{2}$

$x = 12$

Therefore, the denominator of the fraction at point y is 12.
