The number X is placed somewhere between 9 and 10. That's because 9 squared is 81 and 10 squared is 100.
Answer:
The correct answer is 25.2 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that number line goes from 0 to 60 which can be used to represent a ribbon of length = 60 inches.
2 inches of the ribbon are frayed so actual length = 58 inches
Please refer to the attached image for the ribbon.
A is at 0
C is at 60
B is at 2
P is the point to divide the remaining ribbon in the ratio 2:3.
Part AB of the ribbon is frayed.
BP: PC = 2:3
Let BP = 2
and PC = 3
Now, BP + PC = BC = 58 = 2 + 3 = 5
So,
BP = 
Location of the Cut = 2 + 23.2 = <em>25.2 inches</em>
<em></em>
Alternatively, we can use the formula directly:
m: n is the ratio 2:3
You subtract 3 miles from the 5.5 miles which gives you 2.5
A is the only number line that correctly shows the locations of all given values.
Answer=A
***EDIT***
Okay, so if you look at the number line, you notice that the distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4. When we move to the left, we decrease in value. When we move to the right, we increase in value.
So, knowing that, lets look at A and see if all of the numbers are correctly placed.
1/2 should be two lines to the right of 0 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4=2/4 or 1/2)
-4 is a relatively easy value to find, since its line is labeled.
-2 3/4 should be three lines to the right of -2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of -2 u get -2 3/4)
(-2-3/4=-2 3/4)
1 1/4 should be three lines behind 2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of 2 you get 1 1/4)
(2-3/4=1 1/4)
Yes it can be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
