Question

In the diagram NM:MP is 1:4 and NP =65 find NM and MP

Answer 1

Points N, M, P are in one line segment where point M is between N and P. The total distance from N to P is 65. The ratio of NM to MP is 1 is to 4.

Formulating the equation:
1x + 4x = 65
5x = 65
Divide both sides by 1/5.
x = 13

So, NM is represented by X. NM is 13.
MP represented by 4x. MP is 52.
