Answer: (4, 4.6)

=======================================

The x coordinates of the points (3,2) and (8,15) are x = 3 and x = 8 respectively. The distance between these x values is 8-3 = 5 units. So we move 5 units to the right to go from the first point to the second point.

Imagine we had 5 blocks. If 1 of them is colored red and the other four are green, then the ratio of red to green is 1:4. We have 1 part red, 4 parts green. So 1+4 = 5 total. The "red block" in the metaphor mentioned basically tells us how far to move over the total distance 5. So we move 1/5th of the way along the horizontal distance of 5.

1/5 of 5 = (1/5)*5 = 1

So we move exactly one unit along the x direction. Therefore, we add 1 to to the x coordinate of (3,2) to end up with (3+1,2) = (4,2). This isn't the final answer, but it helps get us closer.

---------------

For the y coordinates of the given points we see that the y difference is 15-2 = 13. Multiply this by 1/5 to get

(1/5)*13 = 13/5 = 2.6

We follow effectively the same steps as before, but now we're dealing with the y values this time. So we move 2.6 units in the y direction (ie move 2.6 units up)

Add 2.6 onto the y value of that last point we found to get (4,2+2.6) = (4,4.6)

So that explains why the answer is (4, 4.6)

A visual might help so I've posted one below in the attached images. In that image, the location of point T is the final answer.

Ben weighs 140.8 pounds, and Jennifer weighs 117.7 pounds. How many more pounds does Ben weigh than Jennifer?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Ben weighs 23.1 lbs more than Jennifer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between Ben and Jennifer's weight, you have to subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. In this case, subtract Jennifer's weight from Ben's weight. This would look like this: 140.8-117.8.

140.8-117.7=23.1

Therefore, Ben weighs 23.1 lbs more than Jennifer.
