Question

m is between N and O Find NO

Answer 1

Answer:

M is between N and O. MO=15, and MN=7.6. Find NO.

The order of the letters is M-N-O. Let us establish that these points, M, N, and O, are points on a straight line.

The problem tells us that the distance from M to O is 15. This is the length of the entire line.

We also know that the distance from M to N is 7.6. Since N is between M and O, 7.6 represents only part of the line. To find how much distance is between N and O, all we have to do is subtract the part of the line from the whole:

15

-7.6

____

7.4

So NO = 7.4
