question_answer 5)

The points P, Q, R, S, T, U, A and B on this number line are such that, \[TR=RS=SU\]and \[AP=PQ=QB\]. Name the rational number represented by P, Q, R and S.

Answer:

                The rational number represented by P is \[2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\]                 The rational number represented by Q is \[2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\]                 The rational number represented by R is \[-1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{-4}{3}\]                 The rational number represented by S is \[-1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{-5}{3}\].                 The rational numbers represented by P, Q, R and S are \[2\frac{1}{3},2\frac{2}{3},-1\frac{1}{3}\] and \[-1\frac{2}{3}\]respectively.
