In order to put two quantities as a relationship, just put a colon or a fraction bar in between them, in the order that the problem asks you.
In this problem, it's asking for the # of students planning to go to an instate college to the # of students planning to go to an out of state college.
So, 120 : 70
Even though it doesn't tell you to simplify, it will never hurt you, so always do it.
Both 120 and 70 can be divided by 10, so the simplified answer would be 12:7
Hope this helps!
Is it just 7+222? if so it would be 229
Let's go through the answer choices one by one:
A. False. The line segment contains more than just the endpoints
B. False. There are points in this description that extend beyond the endpoints. If this was a line instead of a segment, then choice B would be the answer
C. True. This is the answer. Though your teacher should have added "collinear" to the sentence to make it clear that the points are between M and N, and also collinear to M and N. All of these points form the line segment MN
D. False. That would be the perpendicular bisector of MN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So once again, the final answer is choice C
