The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)

The appropriate choice is
(C) (11, 32/3)

_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)

10 times as much as 0.3

Thats the same thing as 0.3 x 10
when mulitplying by 10, 100, 1000, etc.
what i do is i move the decimal place over how many zeros there are so there is one zero and that means you need to move the decimal place over one space to the right so the answer is
3
