Explanation:

since they are in order points p and q are in the middle and points O and R are on the end so they say that OR=36 since you don't know the exact lengths of all of the lengths in the middle from O to R then you multiply 5,6 and 1 by x and add

5x+6x+1x=12x

so then the whole length is equal to the ratio of 12x and also 36 so set those to equal each other

12x=36

x=3

so that is just the ratio and since they are asking for the length of O to Q that means that it is just 5x+6x=OQ

11x=OQ

insert x=3

33=OQ

Hope that helps :)
