On a number line, A is at 5 and B is at 50. Point X is the midpoint. Point T is 2/3 of the way from X to B. Determine the coordinate of point T.

Coordinate of X = ________
Distance of XB = ________
Fractional distance 2/3(XB) = _________
Coordinate of T = ________

Part 1

[tex]x = \frac{b + a}{2} = \frac{50 + 5}{2} = \frac{55}{2} = 27.5[/tex]

Part 2

[tex]xb = b - x = 50 - 27.5 = 27.5[/tex]

Part 3

[tex] \frac{2}{3} xb = \frac{2}{3} (27.5) \approx18.34[/tex]

Part 4

[tex]t = \frac{2}{3} ab = \frac{2}{3} (b - a) = \frac{2}{3} (45) =15 \\ [/tex]
