Answer:
( 19/3 , 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question,
point D(7,1)
x1 = 7
y1 = 1
point F(5,4)
x2 = 5
y2 = 4
Location of point E which is 1/3 of the way from D to F
which means ratio of point E from D to F is 1 : 2
<h3>a : b</h3>
1 : 2
xk =
yk =
Plug values in the equation
xk = 7 + (1)/(1+2) (5-7)
xk = 19/3
yk = 1 + (1)/(1+2)(4-1)
yk = 2
Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:
1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.
Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:
7/4, 7/4, 3/2
Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4
Adding them:
Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:
= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4
= 20/4
= 5 inches
