Why is partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 not the same as finding One-third the length of the directed line segment? The ratio given is part to whole, but fractions compare part to part. The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 3 – 1 = 2. The ratio given is part to part. The total number of parts in the whole is 1 + 3 = 4. The ratio given is part to whole, but the associated fraction is One-third.

Stefano accidentally dropped his sunglasses off the edge of a canyon as he was looking down. the height, h(t), in meters (as it relates to sea level), of the sunglasses after t seconds, is shown in the table. during its descent, the pair of sunglasses passed by a climber in the canyon 6 seconds after stefano dropped them. to the nearest meter, what is difference in elevation between stefano and the climber? 166 meters 176 meters 230 meters 240 meters its b.176 i took the test 166 is wrong and 176 is correct
