Question

What number is three-fourths of the way from 4.58 to 5.42?

Answer 1

5.21 is the point 3/4 of the way from 4.58 to 5.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The two endpoints of the problem are

A = 4.58

B = 5.42

In order to find the point C which is 3/4 of the way between A and B, we have to divide the distance between A and B in 4 parts, then add 3 parts to the right of point A.

We start by finding the distance between A and B:

$d=5.42-4.58=0.84$

Now we divide this distance in 4 parts:

$\frac{d}{4}=\frac{0.84}{4}=0.21$

And point C is 3 parts to the right of A, therefore:

$C=A+\frac{d}{4}=4.58+3(0.21)=5.21$
