Question

type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. on a number line, point o is at -7, and point p is at 8. point n lies between points o and p. if the ratio of on to np is 4 : 8, where does point n lie on the number line? point n is at on the number line.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total ratio parts

$4 + 8=12$

Step2: Find distance between O and P

$8-(-7)=15$

Step3: Calculate distance of ON

$\frac{4}{12}\times15 = 5$

Step4: Find position of N

$-7 + 5=-2$

Answer:

-2
