Question

A choreographer uses a number line to position his dancers for a ballet. Dancers A and B have coordinates 7 and 25, respectively. Find the coordinates of dancer C if dancer C is standing at a ration of 5:1 between dance A and B.

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Explanation:

5:1 means 6

25-7=18 lines

18 lines / 6 = 3 lines per time

5*3 = 15 lines from A to C

7 + 15 = 22 lines
