To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.
Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.
This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.
or 55%
Solution:
Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:
To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have
Using the section formula expressed as
In this case,
where
Thus, by substitution, we have
Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
