Question

1. fill in the blanks using the available answer choices. sarah leaves home at point a and heads to briannas house at point b. after driving 2/3 of the way there, sarah stops at point c to pick up catina. the coordinate of point c is ____ (blank 1) blank 1 options: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. a 8 9 10 11 12 13 b 14 15 16 blocks

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate distance between A and B

The distance between point A (co - ordinate 8) and point B (co - ordinate 14) is $14 - 8=6$ blocks.

Step2: Calculate distance from A to C

She drives $\frac{2}{3}$ of the way from A to B. So the distance from A to C is $\frac{2}{3}\times6 = 4$ blocks.

Step3: Find co - ordinate of C

Starting from A (co - ordinate 8), if we move 4 blocks along the number line, the co - ordinate of C is $8 + 4=12$.

Answer:

12
