Why is partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 not the same as finding the length of the directed line segment?

Question illustration
A
The ratio given is part to whole, but fractions compare part to part.
B
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 3 – 1 = 2.
C
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 1 + 3 = 4.
D
The ratio given is part to whole, but the associated fraction is .
Option D
8

Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4. Will P be closer to A or B? Why?

Question illustration
A
P will be closer to A because it will be the distance from A to B.
Option A
B
P will be closer to A because it will be the distance from A to B.
