Question

Line segment AB is one unit long. If point C cuts out AB so that AC = 0.168, what is the ratio of AC to CB:

a. 0.14
b. 0.25
c. 0.33
d. 0.40

Answer 1

The ratio of AC to CB is 0.202.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of AC to CB, we need to determine the length of CB. Since line segment AB is one unit long and AC = 0.168, we can subtract AC from AB to find CB. CB = 1 - 0.168 = 0.832. Therefore, the ratio of AC to CB is AC/CB = 0.168 / 0.832 = 0.202.
