Question

refer to the number line. find the coordinate of point c that is $\frac{7}{8}$ of the distance from m to j.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the distance between M and J

The coordinate of M is 2 and the coordinate of J is 18. The distance $d = 18 - 2=16$.

Step2: Calculate the distance from M to C

The distance from M to C is $\frac{7}{8}$ of the distance from M to J. So, $d_{MC}=\frac{7}{8}\times16 = 14$.

Step3: Find the coordinate of C

Since we start from M (coordinate 2) and move 14 units to the right, the coordinate of C is $2 + 14=16$.

Answer:

16
