Question

How many equal sections divide a directed line segment if it is to be partitioned with a 7 : 10 ratio?

Answer 1

17 good luck man ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 2

The number of equal sections such that we divide a directed line segment into a 7 : 10 ratio is:

17

Explanation:

We know that if a directed line segment is divided into m:n sections then the total number of equal sections in that line segment is:

m+n

( Since we have m parts and n parts of one line )

Here we have to divide a line segment into a ratio of:

7:10

This means that m=7 and n=10

Hence, the number of sections in the line segment is:

7+10=17
