4-58.

What is the length of the marked portion of each line segment? Copy the segment onto your paper before finding the missing length. Assume that the entire line segment is subdivided into equal sections.

  1. A segment from 0 to 75, divided in 3 equal sections, with the first section bracketed, and labeled with a question mark.

    How many segments is broken into? Use this to figure out the value of each segment.

  1. A segment from 0 to 75, divided in 5 equal sections, with the first 3 sections bracketed, and labeled with a question mark.

    How many segments is broken into? Use this to figure out the value of each segment.

    . Be sure to show why this answer is correct.

  1. A segment from 0 to 50, divided in 5 equal sections, with the middle 3 sections bracketed, and labeled with a question mark.
