Question

Point X is at 2/3 on a number line on the number line point why is the same distance from 0 is point X but has a numerator of 8 what is the denominator of the fraction at point why

Answer 1

Denominator

x = 12

Explanation:

Let x be the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Given:

Point X is at 2/3 on a number line from 0.

On the same line, point y is the same point from 0.

Numerator of the fraction at point y is 8.

We need to find the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Solution:

From the above statement the distance from 0 to point X and 0 to point Y is same, so point X is equal to Y.

`(2)/(3) =(8)/(x)`

By cross multiplication.

`x=(8* 3)/(2)`

`x= (24)/(2)`

`x = 12`

Therefore, the denominator of the fraction at point y is 12.
