On a vertical line segment, point A is located at 50. Point B is located at 104. Point P is a point that divides segment AB in a ratio of 1:5 from A to B. Where is point P located?
AB = 104 – 50 = 54
A ratio of 1:5 indicates that of a total of 6 pieces,
one part has 1 piece, the other part has 5 pieces.
54 / 6 = 9 therefore 1:5 = 9:45
So, P is located at 50 + 9 = 59
