OpenStudy (danjs):

They want the ratio of DE to EF Looks like they broke it into even distances, so you dont have to figure that out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whaddya mean?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Each dot is spaced evenly on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supposed to be something like this, "The segment is partitioned into the ratio 1:3 at point D." as the answer, this is just an example tho idk how to

OpenStudy (danjs):

DE is 3 out of a total of 5 units on DF EF is 2 out of total of 5 units on DF

OpenStudy (danjs):

DE is 3 out of 5 or 3/5 EF is 2 out of 5 or 2/5 The ratio of DE to EF is DE / EF

OpenStudy (danjs):

(3/5) / (2/5) = 3/2

OpenStudy (danjs):

or 3 : 2 3 to 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
