Question

In the figure below, points A, B, C, D, and E are collinear points, such that AB = BC = CD = DE. If point A represents 2/5 and E represents 3/5 on a number line, then points B and C can be represented as and respectively.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B= 9/20 , C= 10/20, D= 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, We want 3 rational numbers (as points are equal), so multiply in numerator and denominator by 3+1=4 and we get,

2/5×4/4 = 8/20

3/5×4/4 = 12/20

Now, we write the no. comes between 8 and 12( i.e 3 numbers) and the denominator will be same as 20:

Therefore, the no. will be

9/20 (B)

10/20 (C)

11/20 (D)
