Question

What is the location on the point on the number line that is 2/5 of all the way from A=31 B=6

Answer 1

Answer:

16 is 2/5th's of the line between the point at 6 and the point at 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to get the point on the number line that would be 2/5th's of point 31 and point 6, you need to get the absolute value / difference between both points.

31 - 6 = |25|

So then you need to get what a fifth (1/5) equals from 25.

25 / 5 = 5.

So 2/5th's of the difference between point 31 and point 5 would be two 1/5th's (5 + 5) which equals 10.

Add 6 to 10 (since 6 is the beginning of the line between both points) and you get 16, which is 2/5th's of the line from point 6 to point 31.
