If you drew a line segment from the point when Kiley arrived at the airport to the point when she reached the waiting area near the gate, at what point would the line segment end?

​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal\pink{Question}$

To divide the line segment AB in the ratio of 2 : 3, first a ray AX is drawn such that angle BAX is an acute angle and then at equal distance, points are marked on the ray AX such that the minimum number of these points is :-

$\huge\mathcal\pink{Solution:-}$

The line is to be divided in 2:3

Let the parts of line be 2x and 3x

2x=x+x

So 2x has 2 equal parts.

3x=x+x+x

So 3x has 3 equal parts.

So a total of 5 equal parts are needed.
