Question

I need help with this!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

  D:  2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually when we talk about a point partitioning a segment, we are interested in the ratio of the first segment to the second:

  BC : CD = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1

Since this is not an answer choice, we need to "reverse engineer" the answer list to see if we can find an answer that corresponds to a reasonable interpretation of the question.

__

None of the segments is 3 units long, so neither of answer choices A or B makes any sense.

While segment BD is 4 units long, there is no segment that is 1 unit long, so answer choice C makes no sense, either.

There are segments that are 2 units long and a segment that is 4 units long, so if we interpret the question to be "what is the ratio of BC to BD?" then answer choice D is appropriate.
