Question

If point p is 9/11 of the distance from M to N, what ratio does point P partition the directed line segment from M to N into?

Answer 1

If point P is Nine-elevenths of the distance from M to N, what ratio does the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N into?

9:2 Right Answer

9:9 Wrong Answer

9:11 Wrong Answer

9:13 Wrong Answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

The ratio the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N is 9:2

Explanation:

Let the total distance between M and N be 'd'

Point P distance from M = (9/11) d

Point P distance from N = (1 - 9/11) d

= (2/11) d

The ratio of the distance = (9/11) d / (2/11) d

= 9/2

= 9:2

The ratio the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N is 9:2
