What is the location of the point on the number line that is 2/9 of the way from A = 5 to B = 23

from 5 to 23, there are 18 units, 23 - 5 is just 18, so the segment AB is 18 units long.

now, this point is 2/9 of the way hmmmm what is 2/9 of 18? well, is just their product, [tex]\bf 18\cdot \cfrac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{36}{9}\implies 4[/tex]

so the point is 2/9 of the way from A, namely, is 4 units away from 5, 5+4.

The location of the point on the number line is 9

How to determine the location?

The points are given as:

A = 5

B = 23

Point = 2/9

The location of the point is calculated using:

Point = A + 2/9(B - A)

So, we have:

Point = 5 + 2/9(23 - 5)

Evaluate

Point = 9

Hence, the location of the point on the number line is 9
