Question

On a number line, A is at -2 and B is at 4.

What is the coordinate of C, which is two thirds of the way from A to B?

Answer 1

It would be at 2. Here is why: -2 and 4 are 6 places away from each other. Now divide that by 3 (for the thirds). so each third is 2. Now thirds 2will be four, so add that to -2 and you get 2.
