Draw a line segment PQ=7 cm and locate a point R on PQ=3/4 PQ

You have to make a line segment PQ of length 7 cm.

Now, the location of point R on the line segment will be at the join where the ratio is PR/RQ = 3/4.

The reason is as follows:-
PR = 3/4RQ
PR/RQ = 3/4
  • -2
this answer is completely wrong we have to make
PR=3/4PQ
So, QR=1/4PQ
PQ:QR=3/4:1/4
            =3:1
Hence PR/QR=3/1
If you do this correctly you will get PQ=5.25cm
hope this does!
cheers!
