Explanation:
Let's add point P at the location 0 on the number line.
The distance from L to P is 2 units. We can say LP = 2, ie segment LP is 2 units long.
Similarly, segment PN is 12 units long
Refer to the diagram below
The segments LP = 2 (red) and PN = 12 (blue) are then added to get the total distance from L to N. That total distance being LN = LP+PN = 2+12 = 14.
Point M is not used at all.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points J (1,-10) and K (7, 2)
From the section formula
The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is obtained using the formula:
The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.
There are 270 pages in this book.
Given that,
Emily reads a storybook the first day,
She reads 1/9 of the whole book, and on the second day, she reads 24 pages.
The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days is 1:4.
We have to find
How many pages are there in this book?
According to the question,
Let, P is the number of pages,
The first day Emily reads p/9 pages of the whole book,
And the second day she read 24 pages.
The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days = 1;4 = p/5.
Therefore,
The number of pages reads first day + the number of pages read the second day = The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days
Hence, there are 270 pages in this book.
