Answer:

If AB represents 300%, the length of a line segment that represents 100% is equal to one-third of the length of AB or simply 100%.

Explanation:

If AB represents 300%, then AB is three times the length of a line segment that represents 100%.

So if we let the length of the line segment that represents 100% be x, then we can write:

AB = 3x

Solving for x, we get:

x = AB/3

Since AB represents 300%, we know that AB is three times the size of a line segment that represents 100%. Therefore, x is equal to one-third of AB, or:

x = AB/3 = (300%)/3 = 100%

So the length of a line segment that represents 100% is equal to one-third of the length of a line segment that represents 300%, or simply 100%.

Hope this helps! If it's wrong, I'm sorry. If you need more help, ask me! :]
