The student's work is incorrect, and the reason is (a) No, the student should have added 3 4 to get the total number of sections, and used the fraction 3/7 instead of 3/5
From the complete question, the given parameters are:
[tex]Ratio =3 : 4[/tex] ---- the ratio
[tex]A = -6[/tex]
[tex]B = 2[/tex]
The student's steps are as follows:
[tex]C = \frac 34 (2 -(-6)) + (-6)[/tex]
[tex]C = \frac 34 (8) + (-6)[/tex]
[tex]C = 6 -6[/tex]
[tex]C = 0[/tex]
To determine the position of point C from the given ratio, we make use of the following quotient;
[tex]Position = \frac 3{3 + 4}[/tex]
[tex]Position = \frac 37[/tex]
This means that, the student ought to add 3 and 7, to get the total number of section.
Hence, the student's work is incorrect, and the reason is (a)
