Just look up how to find unit rates and it should be easy
Answer:
D. a is equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.
Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.
Then;
PX = aPQ
⇒ = a x 8
= 8a
Therefore, a must be equal to , so that;
PX = 8a
= 8 x
= 2 units
Thus, a is equal to is the correct option.
It is just asking for you to convert 3/4 in 84ths. This means it wants the denominator to be 84. So multiply both the top and bottom by what gets you 84. In this case, multiply both by 21. So 3/4•(21/21)=63/84
The x value is 1 because it is in between 4 and -2.
It is 3 away from 4 and 3 away from -2.
Hope this helps!
