If point cap p is 4 sevenths of the distance from cap m to cap n , what ratio does the point cap p partition the directed line segment from cap m to cap n into?
Answer
A
ratio of 4 to 3
B
ratio of 4 to 1
C
ratio of 4 to 7
D
ratio of 4 to 10
Explanation
If the full distance from M to N is divided into 7 equal parts, P is 4 parts from M. That leaves 3 parts from P to N, so the ratio MP:PN is 4:3, the ratio of 4 to 3.
