Question

If point p partitions line BA,what would be the part to whole ratio

Answer 1

4 / 5

Explanation:

From the image attached, Line BA is divided into a total of 5 equal proportions (or intervals). Point P is placed at the 4th proportion of the divided line, also the distance between point P and point A is 1 propotion. The ratio in which point P divides the line BA is given as:

Ratio = BP : PA = 4 : 1

Ratio = 4 : 1

The part to whole ratio If point p partitions line BA = BP / BA = 4 / 5

Part to whole ratio = 4/5
