Point P is at -5/3 and point Q is at 7/3 on a number line. A point R is placed so that it divides segment PQ into a left part and a right part with the left part being exactly twice the right part. What rational number is at R?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. PQ length = 7/3 - (-5/3 ) = 12/3 = 4. Left:right = 2:1 means left part = 2/3(4) = 8/3. R = P + 8/3 = -5/3 + 8/3 = 3/3 = 1.

Point P is at $- \frac{5}{3}$ and point Q is at $\frac{7}{3}$ on a number line. A point R is placed so that it divides segment PQ into a left part and a right part with the left part being exactly twice the right part. What rational number is at R?
