Question

If b is the midpoint of ac and if c is the midpoint of bd, then what percent of cd is ac

Answer 1

Answer:

ac is 200% of cd

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we shall be making a visual representation.

Let’s take it one at a time.

Given;

b is the midpoint of ac

a b c

What this means is that a-b represents 50%, while bc represents another 50%

okay, we move on:

c is the midpoint of bd

b c d

What this means is that bc is 50%, while cd is another 50%.

So let’s combine the representations;

a 50% b 50% c 50% d

Now what does the question says again?

What percent of cd is ac?

From a to c, we can see two 50% which means 100%

while cd is just the regular 50%

So we can see that ac is actually twice cd

What we are saying here is , if cd is x, then ac is 2x

So we can restructure our question to mean, what percent of x is 2x?

That is simply 2x/x * 100 and that is 200%

Answer 2

Answer: ac is 200% of cd
