Answer:

The coordinates of the point P is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point A is at 8 and B is at 16.

P is the point where the line segment in the ratio 3 : 1.

This is also where P is \frac{3}{4} rds the distance from A to B

The total distance is |16 - 8| = 8  

The distance between point AB is 8 units.

\frac{3}{4} of 8 is 6.

So, the point P is 6 units from A .

8 + 6 = 14

P is at 14

Hence, the coordinates of the point P is 14.

This also works if you go 1/3 from B.

-8 is 4 from -4 which is 1/3 of 12.

Allisa [31]

Answer: 2 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

How many hours does the plane save?

Time taken for the train = 5 1/8

Time taken for the plane = 2 2/3

The number of hours saved will then be:

= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3

Let the lowest common multiple be 24

= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24

= 2 11/24

The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24
