Question 8 • Common Core Geometry - MA3110 A-CR
Why is partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 not the same as finding the length of the directed line segment?
Answer
A
The ratio given is part to whole, but fractions compare part to part.B
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 3 – 1 = 2.C
The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 1 + 3 = 4.D
The ratio given is part to whole, but the associated fraction is .
