Given:
The point
divides the line segment joining points
and
.
To find:
The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.
Solution:
Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get


On comparing both sides, we get


Multiply both sides by 4.




It can be written as


Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8) / (1/2) .when dividing fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
7/8 * 2 = 14/8 = 1 3/4 <==
To do this, you first do 3^3. this is 27.
now because of the minus part, you have to do this under 1 (a reciprocal).
your answer is 1/27
0.1111 if you want it as a decimal
