Answer:  The line segment can be divided into 12 equal sections.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of equal sections that divide a directed line segment if it is to be partitioned with a 5 : 7 ratio.

We know that

if a line directed line segment is partitioned in the ratio a : b, then we can divide the line segment in (a + b) equal sections.

So, the number of equal sections in which the given line segment can be divided is given by

N_s=5+7=12.

Thus, the line segment can be divided into 12 equal sections.

Well you see partition means to separate or divide. A line segment with end points a and b can be partioneded by another point by a given ratio, and a ratio is a comparison of two numbers. For other ratios besides 1:1 , it is necessary to determine the total number of parts that the line segment must be divided into. So in your case the point is 5:7 so you to determine the point that divides your line segment you just simply add the figure 5 a and the figure 7 together and you should end up with the sum of 12.

Alicia borrowed $15,000 to buy a car. She borrowed the money at 8% for 6 years
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

She have to pay the bank at the end of the 6 years = 222000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula applied in this case where price, interest rate and time duration is mentioned.

Interest = prt/100

Substituting all the given values in the formula.

interest = 15000 * 6 * 8/100

150 * 6 * 8 = 7200

Interest + 15000 = 15000 + 7200 = 222000$ has to pay the total.

In this question amount is 15000 multiply by 6 and by 8 then divide it by 100 so we get the interest then we add it in to amount so we get an answer that is total amount which he has to pay.                                                                           Hope this helps! :P PLZ GIVE ME BRAINLIST
