Question

1 - 107. what is the length of the marked portion of each line segment? assume that the entire line segment is subdivided into equal sections.
a. 0 75?
b. 0 75?
c. 0 50?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine number of segments

In part a, the line - segment from 0 to 75 is divided into 3 equal segments.

Step2: Calculate length of marked portion

The length of the whole segment is 75. To find the length of one - third of it, we use the formula $l=\frac{75}{3}$. So, $l = 25$.
In part b, the line - segment from 0 to 75 is divided into 5 equal segments. The length of one - fifth of 75 is calculated as $l=\frac{75}{5}=15$.
In part c, the line - segment from 0 to 50 is divided into 5 equal segments. The length of one - fifth of 50 is calculated as $l=\frac{50}{5}=10$.

Answer:

a. 25
b. 15
c. 10
